I really like the warm yet bright enough sound of the string! I It sounds great on pizzicato too.

Thomastik Dominant Pro Violin Set

Love these strings. I tried a couple of Rondos and loved them so I wanted to have Rondo for my entire set. It was great trying them and easy to purchase. I needed some strings that would project above the orchestra because I was the soloist and it really did the job beautifully! Thank you, SoundBox Strings!

Thomastik Rondo Cello Strings

Soundbox's trial service is a TREASURE. I have a $1000 box of barely-played strings I'll never use again to attest to this fact. Service was fast and returns were a breeze. Please tell your friends!
