Daddario KS311W-4/4M Kaplan NW E Med.

I have a tendency to struggle with whistling E strings when changing string quickly from the A to the E. Fo far, the only solution has been to fit these strings. Quite simply, they work.

I play mostly old-time fiddle tunes, and this necessitates a lot of re-tuning and as theses strings are a little more fragile than plain steel plated E strings, you need to be careful to avoid premature breakage. I have found these strings combine well with d'Addario Helicore and Zyex, and also Thomastik Vision and Warchal Karneol.

This was the first time I tried a wound e and didn't like it, it sounded too dark, dull and slow to respond to me so I am going back to a plain e

Although the non-whistling it's wonderful, I didn't feel it has the best sound quality as top E-strings, but definitely nice to try

The string sounds good, warm, and relaxed. It is easy to play however it lasts barely 3 months when practicing only an hour a day. The winding fails. Most of my strings last 5 to 6 months so this seems a bit on the low side. It is not too expensive however I am still not sure if it is worth it.

It's a wounded 1st string, but the sound is on the bright side I would say, my ear would want something warmer.

Used it for my electric violin. No copmplaints, it does the job very good. I used it with Helicore medium strings

sounds good, tunes well with other strings I have PIRASTRO Evah Pirazzi Gold
