Greetings:
I have recently noticed a lot of violinitsts actually use the Kaplan Golden Spiral (Solo) E, examples being Rachlin, Linus Roth and Mutter,among others. Could you guys tell me what you think of this E string? Thanks.
I use it, and I like it a lot. It's stable and the quality of workmanship is consistent. I haven't had many duds in... whoah... ten years of usage now.
The thing is, these E strings are ridiculously cheap. I think they're about $4? It's not such a huge investment if you want to try one out and see how it works on your violin (not like the gut strings people intermittently try to convince me to "try out").
Did anybody use it with Evah Pirazzis? I love the set except for the E string. What are some other E strings that match well with Evah Pirazzis?
