Comparing Strings by Thomastik-Infeld
Wondering what would be the best strings for your instrument?
Every instrument can require different strings for the optimal sound. Also, musicians use different strings depending on what genre of music they play. For example, for American folk or bluegrass style music, it is traditional to use steel core strings. Classical performers tend to use synthetic core or gut core strings. And for electric instruments, Helicore or Zyex are the most popular string brands.
For classical players, these are our favorite strings:
| VIOLIN | VIOLA | CELLO | |
| BEGINNING STUDENT | Alphayue | Alphayue | Larsen Aurora |
| ADVANCED STUDENT | Dominant or Evah Pirazzi |
Dominant or Evah Pirazzi | Dominant Pro |
