Rondo violin strings sound great on many different instruments but are particularly popular among soloists playing old instruments. The RO100 set comes with a synthetic core, aluminum wound A-string, providing great modulation and a rich spectrum of sound colors.
For those wanting to stay true to the traditional steel A-string or looking for 100% corrosion resistance and easier playability, Rondo offers a steel A-string without the common downsides of sounding too bright or shrill. Subject to availability.

Michael, keep the work and help us with theses amazing videos and string comparisson...I Love at all..
You got it! Thanks for the love, Alexandre 😍
I really appreciate these videos so much. I really find the side-by-side sound comparisons and tone charts super helpful. I hope you continue making these videos in the future!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🤗
Michael,
Thank you, I enjoy your rambling on strings. Allows us to get a feel of the different string with out breaking the bank, and by the way very nice playing, love the look when when you miss a note🤫
if only I could play 10% as well as you I would be a happy camper.
Thanks for the effort it takes to make these comparison videos.
Mark
Best series in town is back! 😍
Yay!!! ❤️
We love these videos and we enjoy all the commentary Mr OG!! The only change we might want is having more videos sooner( which we know take time to make 😜)
Working on it! Thanks for being so nice!!!
Here! Here! Wondertone Solo & Larsen Aurora, both lack reviews anywhere. Love the green really brings out your eyes!
I've been playing on these strings for two weeks based on this video, I LOVE how it makes my violin sing! Thank you for all you do Michael
Awesome! So glad to hear 😃
@@Fiddlershop Update I used the Rondo and honestly like mentioned on the Thomastik chart they are VERY similar in sound to Dominant Pro and PI. The new TI and the Blue Infeld were more soloist to me for that brillance you get from the strings
Hi,
I love these on my old violin because it gives the instrument room to breath,old wood expands and contracts much more than a modern violin.
I used pirastro perpetual and when I switched to regular dominants on D and G my violin got 30% more sound.
Now I use rondo on D and G and perpetual A and E ,the E one thats slightly thicker ,doesn't come in a set. It really works on both of my instruments.
Interesting fact ,apparently Hillary Hahn loves and uses regular old school dominants .
Tension is not always the answer particularly if one has an older instrument.
Thank you for all your videos.
I am a professional violinist, have been playing for 32 years and grew up in Europe .
Thank you - this is so helpful :)
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the review of the Perpetual strings.
You bet! Thanks for watching :)
It's been a while, but you chose a string set that has no information on them. So thanks!
I know! So many strings, so little time. Enjoy!
Sorry! Here is a link to the string page: fiddlershop.com/products/thomastik-rondo-violin-string-set
Muchas gracias por tu tiempo y compartir tu conocimiento. ☺️ Suscrita.
Thank for watching, Hilda!
Well personally I think the vision titanium solo are better for half the price my girlfriend just bought the vision TS and I am suprised how her violin came to life. I never liked her violin with all the other strings she has bought (gren evah perazzi dominants lasrsen etc) but vision are amazing and really cheap they are a hiden gem there is a reason why violinist like PInchas Zukerman an others uses them as well.
By the way thanks for this video it answered a lot of my questions about the rondo I am a fan of this section in this channel.
Please keep rambling. Michael explains it all is the best serie on Fiddlershop channel. Will you be carrying Larsen Aurora violin string in the future? Very curious to know how it compares to the others. Thank you for the good videos. Please keep them coming!
Thanks so much, and that's the plan!
Love your videos! Thank you so much. Can you review Evah Pirazzi Gold, Passione solo or Jargar Superior next time please ?
Great suggestion! Thanks for the kind words :)
Helpful as usual! All the premium Thomastik strings sound similar to me, if I were blindfolded, I wouldn't tell them apart just by listening. They may feel different though, to me Pi feels softer on the fingers than Dominant (both classic and pro), would you say the same for Rondo?
How would you note response for Il Cannone Lasren ? You did a review on them but I dont think you gave them notes as you did here. I love the sound of them but they have poor response (inferior to other Larsen I tried, classic and Vitruoso), they are very demanding and don't allow a large possibility/variation of bow pressure (sound breaks too easily).
Hola querido, te sonaron genial las cuerdas pi!!! Que le vamos a hacer jejejeje
Please make a review of the perpetual strings
How about Thomastik Infeld Spirit? You haven't reviewed that string set yet....🥺🥺 Thats the string i want to try next🤩😍
Michael, would the steel wound A in this set be good for someone who blows through A strings every 8 weeks or so due to my "finger sweat" composition that keeps breaking the winding down super fast? Still trying to find a solution to this and hoping it could be this?
Great video. Could you please make a review on Pirastro Wondertone solo? I haven't found any review or sound sample...and it's a pricey set...i find it too risky to buy without knowing what I'm getting. Lots of love.
Great suggestion! We will add it to our list 🤗
If anyone has experience with them, I'm curious how long they last. I've been considering Pirazzis (which worked well for the previous owner of my instrument)but heard they don’t have a very long lifetime. So I wonder if these would be a good alternative. Both are quite expensive, so a short lifetime doesn’t sound appealing.
please review the Larsen Aurora Strings for violin !
We will add it to our list, thanks!!
Hi Michael, there seems to be a Golden sibling to this set that allegedly addresses some of your observations on this one. Would love to get your view on them on any future Michael Explains it All ( really missing those wonderfully insightful and funny videos 😂)…
Thanks for watching! A video for the Golden sibling is in the works :)
@@Fiddlershop🎉🎉🎉🎉 will keep my eyes peeled for when it comes out😅
It seems to me like they are intended for serious pro who uses old refined instrument that by itself sounds really deep (because those strings sound a little bright also they are not shouting loud but it seems like their sound is very refined)
Could you do a review Pirastro Wondertone Solo?
I'll add it to the list! I apologize that these are taking me so long to get to.

Thank you!
Michael, what strings do you use when you play professionally
Right now I'm still playing the set of Thomastik Dynamo that I put on in March/April and still really enjoying them. Before that, it was PI or Evah Pirazzi Greens
Could you please do review of warchal ametyst and warchal karneol?
Thanks for watching! I will pass this along to Michael!
@@Fiddlershop thank you! i would love to watch more video review about strings... and i need that same violin and bow for find the difference between it.
perhaps, and just maybe; the video could be about:
1. Ametyst
2. Karneol
3. Brilliant (warchal)
4. Synoxa
5. Aricore
6. Pro arté
7. (timbre of warchal just in case you will sell it one day, in meantime isn't needed video about it)
and... if you could please put on the digital storage or shop or whatever it call, haha, the Graphic with "projection, focus, depth, etc..."
You can't imagine how helpful it is that graphic. and not every violin string has the picture :)
Maybe i'm asking too much but i'm following Fiddlerman since a lot of years before. i remember his video about "Cecilio cvn-600" and now 10 years later (i was just a teen) i bought it and i really love that violin...
I really want to see what the gold Rondos sound like
It is on our to do list :)
It sounds not so good on D and G strings, is it because it was new when you recorded the video?
Well, I always give them a couple days to settle in. But also keep in mind I'm only playing them on the Fiddlerman Artist violin (about a $720 violin), so it's not the world's best instrument...which is also part of the point of these videos. If I played all these strings on an amazing instrument, people would just say "oh, well, yeah but that violin will make everything sound good"
Rondo Gold?😊
It is on the "to do list" :) Thanks for watching!

Rondo features its price😂
