Hi Pierre and everyone!
I have had the Zyex w/ Silver D on my main AV for over 2 years and they made a great difference in how I feel about my playing! I am still happy with them, but need new strings for my 2nd AV, and also my 20+ year old Yamaha Silent Violin.
I am curious about the new FM strings, but am thinking it is better use of my limited $$ to get 2 more sets of the Zyex. I'm not sophisticated enough to notice things like changes in bow responsiveness, speed, etc. I just know that my confidence and desire to practice has increased because my violin has just sounded better with the Zyex strings. I don't even know if I actually NEED to change them.
I guess I'm just asking if there is any reason to try a different kind of strings. If I have all Zyex and one breaks, I'll have a replacement readily available. But is a different kind of string more appropriate for my old EV, which I don't play a lot anymore anyway?
The sound I get from the Zyex seems mellow and sweet compared to the inexpensive Dominants I had before. I like mellow and sweet better than bright and loud, especially since I am now wearing hearing aids in both ears. (but that's for another post...)

@Fiddlerman cool on the sales!!
I must lack skills... I have been trying to sell my first violin for 4 months... But then again I am not Fiddlerman!!!

If I get another set of the Zyex and also a set of the FM's, which should I put on the old Yamaha Silent Violin? I know Fiddlerman can change a set of strings in about 10 seconds, but it takes me a LOT longer than that, or I'd try each of them on both. Plus, I hate changing strings.

The Zyex strings might be more powerful.
Both are great to test on that instrument. Don't think you can go wrong.
