Review: Great strings. Like Prims but way cheaper. - After experimenting with a few different string sets (Dominant, Helicore, Zyex, and Prim), I decided I like the steel core Prims best. When I went to buy Prims again (after a 15 year break from playing fiddle) I saw they were no longer the affordable strings they used to be, so when I looked for a similar alternative, I came across the Preludes. Not only are they really inexpensive, but they sound great, and last. I’ll probably only use these from here out
Review: Great Sound and Price! - Amazing set of strings. Great sound for a reasonable price!
