Upgrade your sound without breaking the bank. The Alice A709 violin string set pairs a warm, resonant nylon-core A/D/G with high-quality windings and a bright, stable E string — giving players a versatile palette: sweet and singing midrange, rich lower overtones, and a clear, projecting E. Built as an evolution of the A708, the A709 uses improved materials and tighter production tolerances for better tone, intonation and longevity.
What makes it special: the set includes two E options — a standard plated-steel E for quick attack and stability, plus a complimentary wound E (steel core with Al-Mg winding) for players who prefer a warmer, less biting top string. The A709’s windings (Al-Mg on most strings, Ni-Cr on the G) balance warmth, projection and durability so the set performs well for students, advancing players and gigging violinists across styles from classical to folk.
Ready to play out of the box — packaged in a neat paper box with each set containing 4 strings plus the extra E — these strings fit full and fractional instruments (4/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Made in Guangzhou, China.
