In 1919 violin maker Dr. Franz Thomastik and civil engineering specialist Otto Infeld founded the company, invented the steel string and caused a revolution in the music world. Suddenly the conventional gut string was challenged by a new string with the highest quality of tone, precision and reliability. It was received enthusiastically by virtuosi across the world.
The string makes the music. The diversity and beauty of the musical timbre depend upon, on the one hand, the type of material used for the core and on the other hand, the material spun around the core. For a perfect sound, Thomastik-Infeld has consistently chosen steel and nylon as the string core material for bowed and plucked instruments.
The highest standards are guaranteed by ongoing research in Thomstik-Infeld's own research lab engaging a team of highly specialized technicians. However, tone perfection is achieved primarily by the delicate touch of fingers and the highly qualified staff in the workshops: Every string at Thomastik-Infeld is wound and checked by hand.

Customer Reviews
Since purchasing my instrument, I've experimented with different strings and now can certainly say these are the best! Really loud but warm
The E right off the bat I didn't like. It was very midrange heavy and did not have much "shine" to it. It was very focused and forward and ear piercing. Dull and lifeless, but it felt great and didn't have much bow noise. A started out hollow and metallic sounding but after a short time it broke in and turned into a string I liked. I really like it 4th position and up- the sound rounds out and it communicates vibrato well. However, the first position notes are a little too thin for me. D is pretty similar- started out hollow and metallic like the A, but less so. I found the D and A to be great strings, if a little thin at times. The G is a different story. The main issue I have is that the position playing (4th+) gets very focused, cold, lifeless, bow noisy, and sounded choked if played lightly. The E string I can see working out for some players, but the G was such a disappointment. For this reason I wouldn't recommend this set.
