D'Addario Octave Helicore Strings

The Helicore Octave Violin set is designed to be played one octave below traditional tuning for a new world of tonal and stylistic possibilities. It utilizes the same core technologies as the original violin set for quick bow response, comfortable playability, and clear sound.

NOTE: Please follow these guidelines for installation: Check that the grooves in your bridge and nut have room to accommodate the larger diameter of the octave strings. A too narrow groove could pinch the string and cause it to break. Excessive pressure or pinching may prevent normal movement. For best results, thoroughly apply graphite (pencil lead) to grooves before installing each string.

Chin Cello? or Very Viola?

I tried these octave violin strings on my acoustic 4 string violin. I think the A and E strings sound very cello like, but the G and D lack the volume and depth of a cello and sound more like a viola. Here's a recording I made using them. This is an instrumental version of Bring Him Home from Les Mis. https://www.bandlab.com/post/3cd3b752-5310-ef11-96f5-000d3a425266
What do you think? Chin Cello or Very Viola?

Packaged Incorrectly

The pouch that was labeled as E string actually had an A, the A pouch had a D, the D pouch a G, and the G string pouch had a string of the wrong size... Maybe they mixed up a violin string set with a viola's? That still wouldn't account for the wrong sized
C string... In any case, this was a huge mistake on the supplier's part! I'm expecting my money back.
