what type steel strings is it in his partiular case? there are several types of core construction that also have different qualities: metal rope core, braid core and solid core. Also the material of the outer coating: tungsten, aluminium, steel, silver has a strong influence. So it matters what brand it is. I use Thomastik's brand Spirocore, and used to use Pirastro's Eudoxa violin e' for d' on a 34.5 cm D/G (Christopher Eaton luteback; low d was Savarez's nylonfiber core Corelli Chrystal Violin d) For my taste and purpose these strings are best value, reliability and accessabillity.
