Medium tension, aluminum wound, ball end. Specifically designed to solve open E-string whistling. Produces a warm, rich tone that blends very well with lower strings. Free ball end adapter included! Playing length 328mm, Tension 18.6 lbs. The introductory string in this series eliminates the whistling sometimes heard when the open E string is played while crossing from a lower string.

    Kaplan Non-Whisling E

    I was having a terrible time with a whistling violin E string. It got so bad that it would wistle, not just in string crossings, but in just playing on the E string. It was repeatable and bsolutely un-playable. I thought at first something had changed with my bowing technique, but it whistled with any type of bow stroke at all. I replaced it with a new Dominant, and the problem was largely eliminated, but it would still whistle often in string crossings--especially on double-stops as in the Bach unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas. I read about the Kaplan non-whistling aluminum wire-wound E and thought I would try it. I did and it stopped the whistling dead. I can now play, confident that the E string will not whistle under any conditions. I thought there would be some compromise to such a string, but to my amazement the string also has a beautiful, non-shrill tone. I cannot hear any compromise in tonal quality or fullness of projection, and best of all it never whistles. It made me very happy. Concerning the first problem string, I never realized that a string could suddenly become such a problem. It was a sudden and drastic change. No manner of rosin, or lack thereof, different bows, different bow tensions, or bowing styles could remedy the problem. But the Kaplan string did--well worth the money. ... (See Full Review)
