I am asked very often which strings I recommend. Indeed I have quite clear ideas about this detail.
A very long lasting and in my opinion nice string has always been from Thomastik DOMINANT.

For violin and Viola these strings worked very well.

Nowadays I think that more than half of all violins have EVVA PIRAZZI from Pirastro

Viola https://amzn.to/2BsGKny

Most people think that if one string is from an other brand it shows that the instrument has a sound problem. But this is not correct. I love a different E string in any case.
For the Violin I love the Kaplan E string from D'Addario

A String Pirastro TONICA:
E String D'Addario KAPLAN:
