Pirastro Tonica Violin Set with Loop End - 3/4-1/2
2 models to choose from:
A New Formula for a trusted favorite string
• nylon core strings
• lively and round sound
• easy tone attack
• very easy response
Features
• Tonica strings have a core made from nylon.
• They produce a lively well-rounded sound, perfectly balanced across all four strings.
• Responding instantly to any bowing style, they reward both player and listener with an open and direct sound.
• With substantially reduced background 'hiss', players can sustain a more even tone helping to achieve smoother string crossings.
• Whilst giving positive feed back to your left hand, Tonica strings remain very easy to play right up into the highest positions.
• Projection and brilliance have been upgraded. However, this excess does not mean that the Tonica has lost its warmth.
• Playing pianissimo has considerably improved.
• All bow strokes are possible resulting in smooth crossings from one note to another.
• Easy right hand articulation and tone attack.
• Due to their medium string tension Tonica strings are suitable for all instruments.
• Insensitive to variations in temperature and humidity

I just tried these, having previously used Evah Pirazzis. I love them and I am not switching back -- they are bright and loud but my instrument is on the dark side so they balance out perfectly. They're responsive, the E string is great and the price is unbeatable.
