This is my first time buying new strings for my violin and I’ve narrowed it down to two choice based on reviews and cost. The only difference I can see between the strings is that one has a solid steel core and the other has a synthetic core. What are the pros and cons of each type of core?
It depends on the tone you want. Synthetics are a more artificial, but rich tone. Solid steel strings will have a beautiful and bright tone, but may be a tad bit more difficult to play.
