It is only the E string that has the ball at the end, correct?

All the strings in the this set have ball ends.Thank you

Can someone please explain the difference between 4/4 1/2 and 3/4 string size. Does the size of the violin make a difference? I have a 1/2

Hello, Yes the size does matter. The 4/4 size strings are only for full size violins. Most strings will be set for each individual size of the violin. Tonicas middle set fits 1/2 and 3/4 size violins which is what you should get. The 4/4 size would be way to big for your violin. If you have any other questions then please do not hesitate to contact us, Thank you, Alexi Strings Inc.

is these strings better to use with classic or jazz?

That's a simple question with complicated answers that can vary with the instrument and the artist. It's often a bit of an experiment over time, to find the right match.On my daughter's older German fiddle, these strings are well-balanced and responsive, not to mention reasonably priced. She plays a wide range of musical styles, including baroque, classical, romantic, gypsy, old-time country, bluegrass, pop standards, etc. On her fiddle, the Tonica strings are suitable across the spectrum.

Does every string have a ball end?

The G, D, A have a ball end. The E has a choice of ball or loop.
