Then, wax all the grooves, and bring the strings up to pitch slowly. Give them a bit to stretch and settle before final tuning, as they can break if brought to full tension all in one shot.That said, once installed and tuned, these strings gave me a "chin cello" that is great fun to play. They are adequately responsive (for what they are) and while the volume is modest, they are loud enough for acoustic performing within some obvious limitations. The tone is dark and these are best suited for an instrument that is screaming bright.They add an extra dimension for playing traditional music, especially for backup, and a nice rich texture to open up and enhance the sound of your ensemble. The Bach cello suites are very entertaining with these. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They really work for the lower octave use *by M***. on July 25, 2024* I hate the high price. I am thankful I went ahead with the purchase even though the high price nearly caused me to pass on them. I hope they never stop making these because they work great and give me the sound I was hoping for on an electric violin. I don't know how long they last, but they remind me of the LaBella flatwound strings I have on my Bass VI, and I've had D'adarrio chromes flatwould guitar strings on a Gretsch for over 3 years and they hild tune and intination great and they sound is dead, but mellow and it suits the instrument well. So I'm hoping the similar qualities of these strings also includes the longevity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome strings *by I***N on June 22, 2024* I'm gonna rate these a 5/5 because I'm addicted to the sound they make. Turns your violin into a cello. They stay in tune well, they don't change pitch because you bow faster like some other strings do, and they just work well.Just know that there's not practical professional application for them at the moment. But who knows! Hopefully there will be people experimenting with them. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Helicore Octave Violin String - D'Addario Helicore 4/4 Size Violin Strings Set with Plain Steel E String - H310 4/4M - Full Set - Medium Tension - Thomastik-Infeld 135B.14 Dominant Violin Strings Set 1/4 Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/73264301-daddario-helicore-octave-violin-string](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/73264301-daddario-helicore-octave-violin-string) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
