Description

The original and best known synthetic cored string. Regarded as the reference standard for this type of string. Well adapted to give excellent playing properties on any instrument.

Dominant strings give a warm and clear sound which closely approximates to a traditional covered gut string. Tonally stable and easy to play on they suitable for all players beginner to professional.

Available in three tensions in full size and medium tension in fractional sizes. Aluminium wound on a multi-strand synthetic core.

To check your instrument size measure the length of the back (LOB) excluding the 'button' which is the thumb shaped extension at the top where the neck is anchored. Old instruments can vary, if more than 1/2" over choose the next size up.

3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")

1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")

New Strings Revive Old Fiddle. Happiness Ensues.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: I really liked the finish and the tone quality of the strings. I'm quite new to playing the fiddle (an old Broadwood) so I'm not quite sure why, but these new new strings seem to be a little bit more forgiving than the old strings which they replaced.

Cons: None

Other: They arrived earlier than expected, which is always a bonus!

Still good

Pros: Dominant strings are still excellent and the Stringzone is prompt and good value. Annoyingly I bought a full set of strings from my local music shop then found they were £20 cheaper on stringzone- I won't be making that mistake again!

Cons: None

This string does what it says on the packet

Pros: It came in good condition and was no trouble to fix. It hasn't lost too much pitch since I put it on.

Cons: Nothing so far. Rather too soon to say.

Other: As I said in a separate email I think asking for a review of a string is a waste of time. The string I buy is not usually fitted until the next one breaks. This was an exception.
