Review: These made my cheap violin sing again - Bought them as replacement for old Dominant. I am amazed by how different my violin sounds now. I bought these because they were recommended for amplified instruments and I wanted to experiment with my acoustic violin with pickup in the bridge. I must say that they sound great without amplification too. Much quicker response time, a lot of clarity and volume. They are not very warm but I like a sharper sound for playing jazz. I think I will stick to D'Addario in the future!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helicore- light tension violin strings.
*by S***N on 29 March 2014*

Have always liked the medium tension Helicore for the bright yet warm sound. Thought I would try various light tension strings. These were a bit pricey but what the heck- all violin strings cost so much these days!! Glad I bought these as the sound is- to my ears- a bit less 'booming' than Super-senstive (Thomastik)- which are otherwise quite similar. Clean sound with good timbre. Would recommend if you are looking for a softer (feel) version of the standard Helicore.
