Strings were packaged very nicely . . . The g and c string with the twin x core are indeed more flexible as advertised, making them easy on the left hand. They respond well to the bow overall. They are loud, textured, gravelly, kind of a warmer spirocore. My main complaint here is that they do not speak clearly enough when playing faster notes.
The A and D string do not match the texture of the lower strings. I would say they are clear and warm, and otherwise kind of unremarkable. Good strings for sure, but they do not compete with the best. Response is solid, volume is good but they do not project and sing like some others. Perform good enough in high positions but the sound dies off a little.
