These are great strings especially for the price.  At the time of this review cost about 1/3 of some "professional" strings out there.  The strings transition well from a warmer lower end to a very brilliant upper register.  Overall these are a good middle-of-the-road string that lets your instrument speak naturally as well as nice string that will give your instrument the warmth it may need if you are still using a "student" string.

Overall
I use a set of the thin gage strings with a silver G. I particularly like the playability of these strings.. I frequently use bow speed for dynamic changes and they respond well with that. They also have enough bite to facilitate a variety of bowing articulations. There is not a dynamic level that lacks tone as I have experienced on most other perlon strings. As a comparison, I would describe the sound as more "open" than Dominants.
