The 'Hannabach 890MT 3/4' string set is good for rehearsals and practice, but not suitable for concerts and music competitions. Strings 4, 5 and 6 (wound) sound very good, but the plain-plastic strings (1, 2 and 3) sound muffled. String 3 (G/G) in the plain-plastic version is unusable, but the spare 3 (G/G) string, the wound one, is good.
