## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where would sound good with D’Addario strings?**
A: I believe you are asking if these sound good.  My son used them throughout his years at a performance arts high school for violin .

**Q: Is this version the same as the one with wondertone?**
A: sorry no

**Q: Does this have a bridge protection tube on the e string?**
A: Hi Yes there is a little black tube so that the string can rest on the bridge without wearing the bridge down.

**Q: What is the average lifespan? If it starts sounding "tinny" or rings while playing other strings, is it time for a new string?**
A: Depends on how much you play. From my experience, if you play 2 hours everyday, it will probably last 3 months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good violin E string

Good violin E string

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loud and proud; sings beautifully
*by E***E on April 8, 2024*

I had recently decided to switch back to Dominant strings, but like many other reviewers here, I can't stand the sound of the Dominant E. Seeing how popular this E string is as a substitute, I decided to give it a try. I accidentally ordered loop-end instead of ball-end at first, but after the return was made (thanks for making it super easy Amazon!), I switched on my new strings. And WOW — I was blown away with the quality of this string. It's loud but not harsh, it's brilliant but not screechy — it really sings beautifully with my other strings, and stays in tune/broke in quickly. Would definitely recommend.
