Thomstik’s Rondo Gold are a tad more ‘brilliant’ and a bit more focused than the regular Rondo set. Both sets are perfectly balanced, but certainly depends on the violin (is it brighter than average?) or the player’s likes and desires:
What sound do you to lean more to? Both sets are amazingly responsive. The Rondo Golds tend
to be more focused/brilliant, whereas the regular Rondo sets, warmer and slightly broader, easier
response.
Thomastik special: With set, both E strings are included in the special price.
