Very unstable strings from tuning point of view, but for baroque playing are the best, when the have been stabilized after some weeks.

G string wild and untamable at first, but it sweetens slower than its counterparts.

D, A, and E are a delight to play on with a light baroque bow. They twist a bit first when changing bow direction and that slight "wishh" sound is a pleasure
