A new alternative for String Players

Strings these days can be expensive which makes it difficult to keep instruments in mint condition, especially if you're a student or a stereotype starving musician. Many of us don't replace our strings often enough simply because new strings are costly. However, a cheaper alternative has been discovered that doesn't compromise on sound.

We call them Animato Maestro Strings. The sound quality is quite comparable to well known brands from the US, Germany, Austria and Denmark.

To give you an idea of the quality of the strings we conducted a comparison between Maestro Strings for violin and well-known European brands. Playing on a Jay Haide violin we tested both sets of strings for dynamic range, optimal left hand feeling and response, projection, and both warm and brilliant tone qualities. We were very surprised and pleased with the similarities. The Maestro strings create a warm, rich sound and have a good projection. The violin set comes with a German E string, one of the best plain steel E strings on the market (Goldbrokat E). It perfectly complements the other three strings.

A set of Maestro Strings sells for $37.00 (US). Maestro strings also provide an alternative for the viola and cello. The set for viola is $57.00 and Maestro cello set is $87.00.
