A family story.
Prim was founded in 1943 by professional cellist Gunnar Frojel. His son Urban and grandson Niclas later followed in his footsteps and ran the family business.
During the Second World War strings were hard to come by. Gunnar Frojel, a very curious and innovative man, began experimenting with strings at the dinner table together with his wife Lisa in their Stockholm apartment. He started manufacturing strings on a small scale, his work progressed, and Prim Strings was born!
Gunnar's son Urban, an engineer with a PhD in production technology, transformed the craftsman's manufacturing process into state of the art string production, while increasing Gunnar's high standards of quality.
Today at Prim Strings, we combine the skilled workmanship of experienced string makers with the precision of state of the art production technology to produce top quality strings. To get the right sound and best quality out of every string, we make sure that every string is produced by machines we have developed ourselves exactly according to specification. However, a machine can never fully replace skilled fingers and eyes. After manufacturing, the quality of every string is carefully verified by a string maker before it is packaged and sent to you.

Customer Reviews
I play Prim steel strings on all 3 of my left handed violins and I use a Larsen Gold E string on the one I keep in standard tuning. I’ve found they work well for me as I frequently change tunings. They hold pitch and are easy to retune. As you may guess I’m a fiddler not a violinist.
My go to strings. Always good and long lasting
I've used Prims strings for years. I still like them. They last a long time. Good direct, clean sound for fiddling.
I've been told Steel strings are best for Irish Music. I agree. Perhaps I have relatives in Sweden that make these strings. They last for ever and need little or no break in time. My other fiddles use dominants.
I have been using Prim strings for many years and find them to be one of the best steel strings on the market. They are bright with lots of volume and display little or no harshness or scratchy sound found in many other steel strings. Excellent value for an inexpensive string.
