Product Description
From the creators of Dominant strings comes a breakthrough. Thomastik Infeld strings are relatively insensitive to humidity changes, break in quickly, and have relatively low tension. A new, synthetic composite core gives these strings a full sound and a longer life span than other synthetic strings, and are reponsive to different playing techniques. The "Infeld Red" set enhances the "darker overtones" on most violins and represents half of the Thomastik-Infeld violin string system (see also Infeld Blue). All 8 strings of this "system" are matched and balanced for playability and tension load so that they may be interchanged to achieve the optimal tonal balance for a given violin, thus minimizing impact to both the player and the instrument. The "Red" set has an "E" that is a gold plated stainless steel, an "A" & "D" that are hydronalium wound over a composite core, and a "G" that is a silver wound over the composite core.

Best strings I ever had July 14, 2010
Gabriel Mautner (WESTON, FLORIDA, US)

This strings are just perfect if you are looking for a darker sound. My violin is 100 years old and I have tried several strings on it. These Red Infeld strings have been the best so far. The sound is clear and projects very well, and it has a very reach and warm tone.
Highly recommend these!
Tried many other brands, settled on this April 8, 2010

My daughter has been a student for 8 years. With her advancing skill level, we are upgrading her hardware as well. We found that after trials of a few other famous brands, Infeld Red sounds the best fit on her Scott Cao violin.

I love the rich warm tones of the Infeld Red strings. My violin tends to sound overly bright and loud - the use of the Infeld red brings a more mellow sound - saves me always having to use a mute. They are the only strings I use now.
Warm, big strings January 18, 2009

I used to use Dominants, but I tried these when they first came out and never went back. They are very big and warm but still really project and have a focused sound. If your E breaks, Lenzner Goldbrokat sounds good with the others.
 Brings out the Dark Side of your violin August 30, 2007

Infeld Reds were designed to bring out the darker side of your violin, and to be used on bright squeaky fiddles. I would tend to agree with this, but found them too mellow for my violins. They adjust well to humidity and temperature changes, and settle in quickly. The gold plated e is there to give it a nice round ringing tone, however it causes the price to be higher than the Blue set.
