Jargar Violin E String
The E string on the violin is a double edged sword. It is the source of both our sweetest, but also our screechiest, moments. Although most E strings are made of steel, they are certainly not created equal. Thomastick-Infeld Dominant Strings are a workhorse set, but the E string is famous for being the weak link. What most of us look for in a great E string is a round, robust, strong but not shrill, sweet but not soft sound, that carries in a hall and sings in the practice room.
While the Pirastro Gold Label is also a solid choice, the Jargar E has a certain magical quality. Its sweet ring and depth of sound are a joy to hear under the ear.
Retailing around $5-6 dollars, this is not an expensive item but it is often back ordered, so be prepared to try several stores in order to locate one that has this string in stock.
