D'Addario

American made and praised for their warm, gut-like sound and longevity!

D'Addario's Helicore strings are justifiably popular; they offer a warm, rich sound that's remarkably similar to gut or synthetic core strings. Unlike gut, however, their all-metal construction renders them impervious to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Helicore strings have a multi-strand high-carbon steel core that produces flexible response and range. The core is overlaid with exotic alloy windings that provide extremely quick bow response and outstanding projection. The end result is a versatile string with very long playing life that is extremely stable under all playing conditions.


Experience the string trusted by many top professionals. Order now!

Disappointing

| Review By: Doofus1 | 3 months, 4 weeks ago

Overall:

I purchased a set thinking they'd be a good lower-cost alternative to  Thomastic Dominants, which I've used for a few years.  While stringing,  the low E broke on me almost immediately.  I went ahead and used the  high A and high E strings, which sound all right.  However, I quickly  sprung for another set of Dominants, which strung up with no problems  and, to my taste, sound richer.  I'd suggest paying the extra $20 for  the Thomastics.  It's worth it.  I can get almost a year of daily  playing out of them.

Dependable

Overall:

As steel strings go, these are probably the best choice.  Not as bright and thin as a monolithic steel.  Break in quickly, hold tune wonderfully, and they last a long time.

 

You won't get the complexity and depth of sound a good synthetic will give you, though if you want a more focused tone they can still be a good choice.  And they're cheaper and last longer.

 

If you're a pro, you already know what works for your taste, style, and instrument.  If you're just learning...  well, you could do a lot worse.  They cost more than cheap steel strings, but it's worth it.  Violin's hard enough to learn, without dealing with bad-sounding strings at the same time.

Helicore medium tension 4/4 fiddle

Overall:
Helicore strings are on the warm side for a steel core, very responsive, stay in tune, long life. Professional quality strings. I like the wound E, gives the bow more to grab onto, never whistles even though I'm a novice player.
