Update 6 months later***I AM NEVER LEAVING THESE STRINGS. I now use an aluminum wound D with the set instead of silver, it's insanely different and I recommend trying both to see what your fit it. I still use only a Stark E from melange set. I have no interest in even trying anything ekse at this point. My old French violin loves these and so do I. They last, they are rich, colorful, anything you want them to be really! Carbon vs. Wood bow is a difference on my violin, but that isnt quite a string thing. Anyway, I highly recommend trying these. I was a Pirastro gal for a decade... these have forever turned me.*UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER**The Perpetual's were horrible on my violin, I have stuck with the PI setup and stark E and still love them. The perpetual's came off within 5 minutes of playing, great strings, but not on this violin. Nope.Though I am curious about Dominants now, actually.I love these PI strings; and they last! My Stark E from the melange set finally seems to be dying a little. With daily playing.The rest of the set (All PI) have seemed to actually get better with time. Maybe it's in my head? But they seem to age very well! Really.Every time I think I don't like them, or they sound too steely? to me, I suddenly hear the richness and character even more and I fall in love with them all over again. They are very colorful and can reach a sweet sound if needed, they hide a richness I adore. They would be perfect for a soloist. Can work in a group if you play just right, can remain quiet, but really shine, and I mean shine, in solo work. I feel they would be great if you are into fiddle music, but I love them with everything classical. They are powerful (but my violin is in general). A part of me wants to try Dominants, for a maybe, more mellow? tone? But, I also think a bow change could change that, as I use a Coda GX, yet a good wood bow brought a whole different sound. So I will be trying some good wood bows now. The process is all a science! I refuse to leave my Stark E from the Thomastik melange set, so I have been hesitant to buy dominants because I want this E to stay, but I think I will try them, now... only because I haven't used dominants in overc a decade and am just curious how they will sound on my powerful violin.I also think... know... I will buy a backup set of these... I have a feeling I will miss them and always want them back.*original review*I must say, these make up for everything vision solo is missing (for me, the visions didn't do well in the lower registers). These are great (though I use a stark high tension Thomastik E, from the melange set, and haven't tried this E and likely won't). I really do like them on my over hundred year old French violin. I've always used mostly pirastro strings and really wanted to explore much more of the string world. I am very eager to use Perpetuals on this violin (they are the best strings I feel I have ever used, though I know every violin and bow is so different... ). Overall, I would definitely buy these again regardless and they last much longer than Evahs, obligatos, gut, and hold tune more than visions, and are sweeter sounding. They seem to me, to be the best Thomastik has to offer, albeit, dominants are always a good work horse for any level player. I feel these are great for solo, projection AND ensembles & orchestra too. They keep my violin's power, but I have total control of volume otherwise as well and they blend just fine in orchestra. They would be great fiddle strings as well, though I am classically trained and they are wonderful there too. I will update after trying perpetuals on (which I have a feeling will be my number one here, but we shall see!). Overall, I do not regret the buy and would buy again. If it isn't perpetuals, it will be these for me!!!

I surprised myself by admitting that Peter Infeld strings are fairly priced. Nowadays, you can find a set of Peter Infeld strings for less than Thomastik’s Rondo or the newest (and priciest) Dynamo strings. They’re often more affordable than Pirastro’s Evah Pirazzi Gold too.Preferences for strings are, of course, subjective. What works beautifully for one person might not resonate with another. But for me, Peter Infeld strings strike a great balance between performance and durability. They remain the benchmark for soloists’ strings—especially if you like Thomastik’s house sound: rich to the point of opulence, colorful with a touch of showiness, and loud and bold to the point of being in-your-face—but ultimately satisfying.

I have an $1,100 violin purchased at a quality violin shop. I began violin (after studying cello for a couple of years) a few years ago. I mostly play old time fiddle, but study classical (esp Baroque) as well. On my advanced-low intermediate violin, I started with Dominants (Ok for my then level), then went to Obligatos which gave my violin a richer tone. These PI with tin E are beautiful strings! I'm at a level now where I can hear nuances in intonation, tone and such. I LOVE these strings and will most likely continue with them for good. I'm fairly picky about tone and can attest that the E string sounds beautiful...no squeaks or shrill sounds...just lovely tone pianissimo or forte.I would usually wait a couple of weeks before writing a review, but I tuned these up, played some scales and then played for over an hour. Of course I had to fine tune them a few times, but when warmed p from playing, they stayed in tune (after just an hour of playing!!!) and I would have no problem performing with them tomorrow and one last retune. The strings are very stable, stay in tune, have great quality of tone, and play softly...no sharp feel at all. I highly recommend anyone interested in performing or at an intermediate level or higher, to try these strings. They may be the last strings you ever try and you might just stay with this string for the rest of your playing years!

I got tired of changing out strings for my kids every couple of months. These Peter Infelds (Tin E or Platinum E is the only difference between the 100 and 101's) last a long time...easily 6 months. The E string will still break from time to time, so get a few spare E's to go along. These strings sound pretty good on my kids' "conservatory" grade violins. Way better than the Dominants we used to use. Warmer than Vision Titanium Solo. About as warm as Infeld Reds but more durable. There may be better sounding strings, but you'd be hard pressed to find ones that last as long (and still sound good throughout the life of the strings) as the Peter Infelds.As for whether to spend more for the platinum E...I think you'd have to be a pro or semi-pro to be able to appreciate the difference. I could tell that the platinum was a tad more open and vibrant. But what do I know -- I play keyboards.

Really lovely tone and power from these strings. They tolerate retuning for traditional tunes very well, and seem to last a long time. Because of that, they’re probably not more expensive overall than cheaper strings that break more easily, don’t last as long and don’t sound as good.

These strings work great on my violin. Beautiful, rich sound.

I bought these strings as a gift for a violin soloist’s upcoming concerto performance with an orchestra. He emailed me to say that the strings were wonderfully voiced and adjusted so quickly. Looking forward to hearing the results.

Buena calidad

自分用ではないですが、妻が音楽家なので代理購入しました。このメーカーのものを以前から使っていたようですが、この製品は初めてだったようです。張り替えたら音の響きが良くなったようで満足しているようです。自分で使っていないので正確には伝えられませんが、以前よりも良いと思うということは、このメーカーでは良いということではないでしょうか。自分用ではないので☆4にしました。参考までにお伝えいたします。

Alles okay

Se adaptan rápido al violín.
