Manufacturer's Description

  • Tonica strings have a core made from nylon.
  • They produce a lively well-rounded sound, perfectly balanced across all four strings.
  • Responding instantly to any bowing style, they reward both player and listener with an open and direct sound.
  • With substantially reduced background 'hiss', players can sustain a more even tone helping to achieve smoother string crossings.
  • Whilst giving positive feed back to your left hand, Tonica strings remain very easy to play right up into the highest positions.
  • Projection and brilliance have been upgraded.
  • However, this excess does not mean that the Tonica has lost its warmth.
  • Playing pianissimo has considerably improved.
  • All bow strokes are possible resulting in smooth crossings from one note to another.
  • Easy right hand articulation and tone attack.
  • Due to their medium string tension Tonica strings are suitable for all instruments.

Still Adjusting

First off, I love Fisher Violins. They are so responsive and helpful and my purchase arrived VERY fast and was perfectly packaged. So a big 5 stars for the business itself.

As for the Tonica strings, I didn't get them installed on my violin until late yesterday, so I'm still adjusting to them. It's my first experience with these strings and so the jury is still out at the moment. They sounded a little muted at first, but have begun to come alive as they've stretched. I have noticed that the E-string has a bit of a "tinny" sound to me, but I'm hopeful that will go away as I play them more. Thank you so much!

Excellent strings at a reasonable price

My daughter's violin teacher recommended these strings as an excellent quality string at a reasonable price, and he was correct. This is our second purchase of Pirastro Tonica's, and my daughter loves them.

Fast shipping, Great Quality

We recently purchased these strings for our daughter's full size violin based on the recommendation of our violin teacher. We have always purchased Dominants in the past but found these to be of the same quality at a more affordable price point. Would highly recommend these strings as well as Fisher Violins -- fast, free shipping at a great price!
