First strings I've ever owned or used, that aren't generic. I grew up very poor and had to learn on cheap everything. No complaints though, been playing for over 10 years, now that I make my own money, I can finally treat myself. I know they're 25$ strings, but it feels so good. I held on :')2yr ⋅ burnerrake ⋅ r/violinist

First time playing since 1997. I used to be fairly good at it and then it eventually faded out as school, work, and life all got in the way.
