Lenzner Goldbrokat Violin E String
Lenzner Goldbrokat Violin E String
The original Goldbrokat violin E strings is the world’s most popular E string with violinists at every level, including some of the most famous violinists of all time. The reason: it is powerful, brilliant and warm, all the way to the end of the fingerboard. It blends unusually well with all string brands. And it remains a favorite of artists who play on gut strings, but prefer a steel E string.

great for the price
Great e string for $2. However, I wasn't expecting "medium" to be 24 gauge.
Great string for the price
These strings make a bright and focused tone. They are great strings for the price.
Fantastic E String!
We have tried many other E strings, and this one brings a clear, brilliant tone that lasts longer and projects better than the others. Recommended to us by the local luthier shop as the E string of choice for many of the professional players in town. Can't beat the price!
great e string, but..
Great e string. Very stable and sounds consistent. However, the winding unravels easily. Also, the leather bridge guard can be cut through by the string.
Best E string!
These strings were recommended to us by a man at a violin shop. We got one for the violin I was then playing. A little later I got my other violin from the repair shop. I had some problems with buzzing and a tinny sound. We ordered some Goldbrokat's. Today I put one on my violin, all the problem sounds went away and my violin sounds a LOT fuller. This is a VERY GOOD string, I would recommend it to anybody. Thanks, Shar Music, for providing this so inexpensively.
Excellent sound, excellent playability
The Goldbrokat works great with my plain-gut D and A and Wound G. It has a brilliant, textured sound with a strong core and presence. Not thin or whiny at all. For the playability, the string is fool-proof. Even with the medium gauge, the string is extremely stable under the bow. Every e-string Ive tried before would crack (die out and not produce sound during the bow stroke) in sound during a rough bow-change during the frog, if I play heavily into the string, or if I attack the string. The Goldbrokat is utterly resistant to cracking in sound unless I am purposely trying to get it to do so, which is actually quite difficult.
