I have found Ascente strings to be a wonderful discovery, both for tone, playability, and price. I am particularly fond of the G and D with the Monel winding which gives a warm, responsive lower end, and the A has a ringing tone with great sustain. They blend well with the Warchal Amber E, also, if you like that warmer, more flexible E. Michael's review mentioned that they have a somewhat nasal tone, which I noticed as well, but that has lessened after a couple of weeks of playing. Great tuning stability, as advertised, and I believe these strings are more than just "beginner" strings, and are worth a try.

I have a 1909 German(?) factory violin (L. Korschat) that has a wonderful tone, but have struggled to find strings that all balance out, particularly with the G string, until I tried the Ascente set. I am amazed at the result, the Ascente G string sounding now like a mini cello, and maintains tone in higher positions. All the strings are balanced, with great ringing overtones. I did replace the e string with a Helicore wound e, which I prefer. These strings are well worth trying. I have ordered 2 more sets to try on my other violins, too.

Ascente strings are very good value. Although they use a monel alloy winding on the D and G, this seems to be a very good substitute for silver/aluminium and produces good tone (on the A, the usual aluminium is used). Moreover, the strings seem to last well. Recommended as an "economy" but good quality string.

Great strings for a student in their 2nd or 3rd year of playing. Competitively priced with other strings of similar quality. These strings didn't take very long to settle which is a bonus for students so they aren't having to battle with an instrument constantly going out of tune. Not warm enough for my tastes for more advanced students, but definitely an option for students still developing their playing skills.
I thought that I had reached seventh heaven when I decided to try the Thomastic dominant strings but after a while having found a store near by that use to sell them I found that the E on the dominants sounded off like it was never really matched to the set.Having purchased a new instrument last March I knew even though it was a new instrument I would have to replace the steel core strings which were only useful for helping me to get my bridge set up.I had listen to these in a a Fiddler man video which did not rate the string real high I however have to disagree after putting these strings on my cheap $118.00 violin and tuning them I played for only about 15 minutes before I had to put the instrument back in the case and walk away trying to wrap my head around the ...

Having no prior experience, these seem like great starting strings. I started violin on June 12 and decided I wanted to try out synthetic core strings after removing the poor quality strings my violin (not from Fiddlershop) came with. They seem to stay in tune reasonably well, though I can’t speak much for the tone as I am a beginner. The E string likes to whistle, which is probably in significant part an issue of my playing. Overall good service and good product.
After installing the first set, the strings kept stretching and stretching. The sound was very bad, like I didn't have any rosin on my bow. Eventually the "A" string broke at the eyelet on about the fifth tune up, right in the middle of my first set. Installed the "A" from the second set, it never made it to pitch without breaking at the same place. I've never had issues with this brand and I have used their strings for years. I bought the NS set and had to 2 day air them for my next gig, thank goodness they were what I expected.
Inconsistent across the strings. A&E are much higher tension than G&D. D string has such low tension that it has to be played very close to the bridge. Very dissatisfied.
Yuck! On my daughter’s 1/8 violin the G string “moos”. They also aren’t labeled as to which is which so for an inexperienced person it’s very easy to put the wrong string on going by looks alone. The A appears thicker than D. I bought these for two fractional instruments and will be taking them off to throw them away. The tone is hollow and unrefined. Even though they’re not broken in, it’s obvious they’ll be junk since that G string is mooing and it’s brand new. Thankfully they were cheap but they’re still a waste of money.
Good strings. They are not as loud as other strings can be. I noticed something about them, I think the ascente strings are good at bringing out the natural sound of the violin they are on. They are soft and feel good on the fingers. I recommend replacing the E string with another, but it will work. They hold tune really well. Seems like not as much tension is needed to bring them into tune.
