favorite E string
This is my favorite E string. I had several sound issues, and they disappeared when I started using Westminster. It also provides just the right amount of brilliance and warmth in my opinion.

"I just wanted to leave a good review because I don’t think this product deserves its current one-star rating. Anyway – this is currently my favorite e string, I’ve used it with several combinations of lower strings (Dominants, Olivs, Obligatos, Evahs) and have never been disappointed. If you’re looking at e strings and aren’t sure which one you’ll like, I would definitely give Westminster a chance."
I agree with the above review.
I had the same experience - it snapped while putting it on - medium weight.
String snapped
String snapped before I even had it at full tension while putting it on. It's a $3 string after all. Won't buy again.

Pretty good
I think this e string quite good. I got it in thick gauge and the sound was quite strong. However, I noticed that it tends to squeak quite a bit as in pivoting the bow to the e string during a scale, and it squeaks on an open e.
Excellent
It is a pretty good string, if you want powerful sound it is the best option. I highly recommend it
