Arrived very quickly.  I am a violin teacher and try to find the best string for a reasonable price and heard these strings played on a 4/4 violin in the symphony and was very impressed with the sound and price, so thought I would give these strings a try on a 1/2 size fiddle and found that they had a nice warm sound.  Tiny violins have a difficult time sounding sweet, but I was pleased with these and highly recommend them.
