I have purchased several items from Caswells over a year or so and have always found them to be of a high quality and fit for purpose. The Pirastro violin E string is no exception. The sound is good and it stays in tune for longer periods of time than the previous make of string I was using.

As this is a non whistling/squeak free string, I have found it to almost entirely cancel out the squeak. One of my fiddles has always had that tendency to squeak on certain combinations of slurring onto the open ‘e’. I have also found the high tension gauge to last a lot longer than the medium version. I perform a lot on electric fiddle and often break the string at the point where it goes over the bridge. The high tension version doesn’t seem to be as susceptible to breakage when playing ff. Its not the warmest of tones, but certainly has power I’m looking for. Well worth trying if your fiddle likes to make that dreaded squeak!
