The Pirastro Tonica violin strings set has a synthetic core making them very stable and producing a lively, well rounded sound. They are very popular for an inexpensive upgrade to a quality string. The set comes standard with a Silver D and Silvery steel ball end E string. For the alternative D or E strings, please see the individual strings.

Pirastro Tonica violin strings set features:

Tonica strings have a core made from nylon
They produce a lively well-rounded sound, perfectly balanced across all four strings.
Responding instantly to any bowing style, they reward both player and listener with an open and direct sound.
With substantially reduced background 'hiss', players can sustain a more even tone helping to achieve smoother string crossings
Whilst giving positive feed back to your left hand, Tonica strings remain very easy to play right up into the highest positions.
Projection and brilliance have been upgraded but not to the detriment of the warm sound
Playing pianissimo has considerably improved.
All bow strokes are possible resulting in smooth crossings from one note to another.
Easy right hand articulation and tone attack.
Due to their medium string tension Tonica strings are suitable for all instruments
