Highlights
Quality
These are very sturdy strings and worked perfectly on my nerdy gurdy build.
Good quality strings, i don't know if they made my brother sound any better, but the cello sounds better!
I broke a string last week and orders these to replace all the strings.
The person selling it had put a cheap set of strings on it and it did not sound very good.
Price
I especially liked the price for these since the cello itself is only a couple hundred.
I wish they were a bit cheaper, but when i have a performance to do, i will definitely have these strings on my cello.
A little pricey, but worth the investment.
I picked up a set for around $50 without any great expectations.
Packaging/appearance
Contrary to a previous review, the string came in its original packaging, definitely a new string.
From the moment i opened the package, i could tell they were high quality strings.
Competitiveness
I bought a different cheaper brand first but these strings sound so much better and much easier to play!
I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so i found what most school orchestras use--this brand.
There may be better strings out there that cost more, but i am thinking now that buying anything less than these is false value.
I recently bought a low cost practice cello that include some un-named generic brand strings.

I currently have some helicore strings on the 44 and those do sound slightly better
