> Happy to try to answer any violin questions!
As a math grad student at Indiana University, liked music, had recordings from Vivaldi through Rachmaninoff, had a dorm room next to the music school, got started on violin, and eventually make it through a few pages of Bach from the E major Preludio and the Chaconne.
Now I'd like to get back to violin, and wonder, what strings should I get? There at IU, I was told that Piastro Eudoxa strings were "good" so always used those.
What are some more recommendations?
- sporkl 4y agoI personally use Dominant strings for A, D, and G, with Pirastro Gold for the E string. Besides the E string, I haven't experimented with much else. If you're just getting back into things, it shouldn't matter too much; Pirastro Eudoxa also seem good. You likely already know this, but if your violin has fine tuners, you probably want to go with ball end strings instead of loop strings, and make sure to get the right size (4/4 if you're on a normal full-size violin).
- graycat 4y agoThanks. I'll keep that and use it! My violin is a decently good one,grown up size! And I have a fine tuner only on the E string.
