"My violin actually had a consistent squeak that happened when I played the opened E string. When I switched to a Helicore E string from D'Addario, I was amazed that the squeak went away. I can now get lost in my performances."

"I appreciate D'Addario's attitude in reducing their environmental impact and creating a community of artists rather than just a product. I trust the company because they take feedback and keep conversations open with their artists and customers."

"Kaplan strings have a powerful and bright tone, with pleasant and sweet characteristics. The tone is rich, and the bow response and overall balance is excellent. This is an outstanding product."

"The Kaplan Amo strings add a unique, warm tonal quality to my violin, without sacrificing clarity. They are able to play a wide range of textures which works for a variety of performance styles, from classical to jazz."
