@ELCBK has a thread here in which she’s been talking about strings, primarily the A strings (also contains links to other string discussion threads):

I thought I’d list out what I’m using on my instruments.
August Kohr HC602 (what I refer to as my “other” violin, or “August Kohr" – never named this one).
For G, D, A – Obligato; for E string – Jargar (regular). Before I started using Obligatos on this violin, I was using Infeld Red – they were pretty good, but I like the Obligatos better.
Glasser Carbon Fiber (Duke) – Larsen. When I bought this violin used, it had Dominants on it—did not like them at all on this instrument. I like it with the Larsens.
Fiddlerman Master Viola 14” (Thorin) – Dominants Viola (short). These have been good – but I plan on trying some other strings on it.
Holstein Premium Bench Lord Wilton (Theo) – Peter Infeld (PI), and sometimes Perpetual Cadenzas. I like both these sets, leaning more toward the PI (what I have on there now). The Cadenzas are a little sweeter, softer, whereas the PI are a bit more direct.
Characterize people by their actions and you will never be fooled by their words.
