After a month of suffering with my black Stagg instrument, today I went to my luthier with the violin my mother gave to me as a present, and asked if he could put brand new helicores on them.
I really liked the chromcors in the beginning, but found them not stable enough after playing them for a while , then the E string broke by accident and so I thought this time it would be wiser to visit the luthier and let him do the job.
I have been playing regardless of all violin or fiddle rules since I came back home from the luthier and found something back I really missed: FREEDOM to do as I wish to do.
At least those helicores don't mind my rather firm grip :-)

Prim and Helicore .... sometimes medium sometimes heavy. Long lasting, tough and maintain tuning fairly well. R/
A too-firm grip on a fiddle can cause certain problems too - you might practice lightening your touch, even if your helicores get along with it ok. And I'm glad you found some strings you like!

I just put Helicores on my $250 Entertainer, practice, Violin. They are fun to play and seem to squeak less than Dominants do. Although they do not have the colorful sound the Dominants do I do enjoy a different sound day to day. Ireally do find the A string on Tonicas and Dominants to squeak a bit easier.

Yes, I am trying since the very beginning to be a bit more zen. It's my rush and enthusiasm that sometimes need a mute on it!
Wednesday third time meeting with the band, they brought in a singer, she seems pretty cool.
I just hope I can keep up with them , wil learn more from playing with them and I am happy I can attend the meeting with my decent violin/fiddle, with the helicores back on it.
Never mute your enthusiasm. Have fun with your band. I'm so happy to hear that's going well for you.
Thank you Donna!
