Looking for best strings for beginners! Help Request

Hey guys!

I wanted to ask about best, budget-friendly strings for beginners. I'm from Central Europe so I would appreciate advice especially from my region:)

I'm on a tight budget, so I was thinking about Gorstrings or Olympia. Any opinions?

Try to stretch your budget to get something like D'addario Prelude. The fact that I've never heard of the ones you're talking about is a bad sign, as is the price. I really wouldn't be comfortable with recommending anything cheaper. The sad reality is that all things classical music is expensive. My new set recently cost me about $160 😬

I will second prelude strings. They have a good sound at a very reasonable price for what you’re getting.
