Helicore violin strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, making for optimum playability and producing a clear, warm tone. The smaller string diameter provides quick bow response. Helicore also has excellent pitch stability and durability. Scaled to fit 4/4 size violin with a playing length of 13 inches (328mm), light tension strings allow for easier bow response. The E string included with the H310 set is a plain steel E (tin-plated high-carbon steel) with no winding.
