D'Addario Helicore 5 String Set - 4/4 Size - Medium Gauge

If you have a 5-string violin (like I do) these are a godsend--the best value out there in a 5-sting set. They play in quickly, they're easy on your hands, and they last forever. Helicores have a sunny, sweet tone that isn't entirely to my taste, but that's just me. I'd recommend them to anyone who's looking for a bright sound with some nice overtones.
