In the vast world of strings for the 4-stringed instruments these are not exactly spectacular. An understatement, really, but that doesn't matter when you're first starting out. To be perfectly blunt, if you're just getting started, you're not going to notice a difference between these strings and any other string for several years. If you spent less than about $2k on your instrument, you really might as well get these. They're cheap, and they do what they're supposed to do.

These are the more generic brand of strings, they dont really have as good of sound quality as theyer making it sound. However these are good for what you pay for them, they are also a good string for beginers or students. But you would never see a professional using these and thats because they are not very good, there are better strings for when a student or beginer whants so take it to the next step. I have used these ever since I started playing the cello and I just dont think they measuer up to other brands, but for the time i started and was only begining they were a good string for my level.

I am a violinist of 15+ years. I remember using this brand when I first started playing. I also remember breaking strings all the time - my mother can attest to this. Once I started buying my own strings in high school I bought Dominant; though more expensive, the quality of the sound improved and the strings didn't break as often. My 9yr old sister just started playing cello. I will be gifting her a full set of Dominant strings. Oh, the joy of being the baby and getting spoiled rotten. :)

These strings are definitely not the best of quality. They don't have a really warm tone and are easy to break. They do work though in a pinch.

I keep these as emergency spares, or extra's for orchestra mates who might break a string in concert

Sound and feel are subjective and they will vary greatly on different cello. That being said, I thought these stings have quick response and produce bright sound, as expected from steel core strings. This set of strings sounded terrible on my wife's cello. But on mine, the A and D worked very well (very similar sound quality to the more expensive Dominant or Jargar strings). I didn't like the G and C because they were too bright and had to change them. It is a good buy if you have a limited budget, as these strings are inexpensive and durable. I would recommand trying them because of the price, and trying is the only way to know if you would like them.

My 14 year old son is very pleased with the sound quality and ease of replacing strings.

Good strings for the beginner - however, I had to buy them elsewhere, as this seller sent the wrong strings (twice). After two months, I'm still waiting!
