Violin set with tin-plated E, 4/4 size.

  • Great, long term strings!
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!!! ... show more

  • Outstanding, Professional Strings!
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! ... show more

  • Probably the best synthetic strings around. Warm sound, wide dynamic range.
These are probably the best sounding synthetic strings around. Compared many string sets on several violins, but this one offers the highest dynamic range and warmest sound. One of the few synthetic strings that can really touch your heart with their warm resonating frequenties. like only gut strings can. Well balanced set with the tin plated E. The D is clearly the best string, G and A are a little weak sounding compared to the D. I combine it with a Goldbrokat E tho, which sweetness is unparalleled. Okay, Evah pirazzi golds offer some more clarity, but do not offer the deep warmth of these strings. Also tried the PI gold plated E. Nice warm sounding E, but too low weak volume, so better stick to the tin one. The platinum E is too expensive, don't think it's worth trying it. If you have a violin that never sounded nice - Try these Peter Infeld's, they might give your violin a new life. ... show more

  • great strings, good price
These are just about as good as strings get. Maybe not quite as much tone color as I'd like, but I used Helicores for years, so maybe my playing isn't subtle enough yet to discern the colors. The dynamic range is huge, like, shockingly so. Silky, silvery tone. They feel light and smooth under the fingers. Very quick bow response, easily the quickest response of any synthetic string I've tried, actually pretty close to Helicores. They come with a loop E, with a tiny envelope inside the string packet containing a bridge protector tube and a ball, both very easily installed with no tools, even with my big fingers. At this price, I think I've found the strings I want to stay with. At the usual price of well over $100, there are much cheaper strings that sound almost as good ... show more

  • Produce a beautiful sound
Have intensified the beauty of sound my daughter produces. Just wish they were a little more affordable since they do not last for more than a few months. She is a college student and plays every day.

  • The gold standard in strings.
The gold standard in strings. Great sound, durable, dependable, rarely snap. I still have to find a better set of steel strings. Over the years I have tried a few, but none has offered the richness of tone, nor dependability as Peter Infeld.

  • Improved the depth and clarity of both a good French violin and a cheaper Chinese one.
The media could not be loaded. Noticeable increase in depth of tone and modulation. Very resonant. Short couple hour break-in time with overnight rest and several re-tunes. Slightly on the dark side, but not muddy. Well-packaged. I will continue to use this strings.

  • Bright sound
The sound is super bright without feeling tight, but suggest to use another e string though, it always has the noise when playing open e string chord
