Hello there,
Well I got to thinking (I know can the men in the white coats) about the strings on my EV. its been about a year since I changed them last.
And since there has been alot of talk about AV strings, I wondered what other EV owners use on there violins and why.
Since tone and volume are electronically set, do strings like steel vs Synth make a differance?
I normally just use a cheap set of D'Addario Prelude on Frankenstein. But should we be more concerned with what we chose as in the NS EV strings?
I would like to hear you oppinions.
happy fiddling
With violins there is no fretting over the music.










I prefer synthetic core strings on my EVs. My yamaha has larsen virtuoso strings and they are wonderful. I had higer tension zyex strings on it previously and find the virtuosos were easier on my fingers and more expressive without loss of volume despite the lower tension.
My 5 stringer has chinese synthetic core GDAE and a prelude C. I need to change the prelude C out for something else because it is so noticably dull compared to the other 4 strings.

Hey Dennis,
I was asking the general users, I dont think that there are that many here using highend EV's. Most of us like you and I use a piezo pickup, which is no more then I mic under the bridge or enbedded in the bridge. With that said, wouldnt there be a difference in the warmth and color of the strings that would have to come through?
I'm not sure if I am expressing it right, But I would think that some would hear a difference or have some reason as the style of music they play.
So let hear everyones thoughts.
