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.

Medium tension strings. For other tensions please click the link above.

NB The set 135 with aluminium wound E is the traditional and well known version of these strings. The aluminium winding being a more suitable choice for learners as it is easier to produce a clear sound without whistles or overtones. The set 135B features a plain Chrome plated steel E which will appeal to advanced players for its clarity and projection.

Steel E set (135B) E has a loop end with a separate ball to fit if required.

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.

Pleased after slight hiccup

Pros: Good to have a spare set in my case so whichever string breaks I can replace it immediately. Service is very fast!

Cons: None

Other: Slight problem in that I was originally sent 2 E strings and no G, but I was sent the correct string and an SAE to return the wrong one the next day.

Dominant violin strings are unbeatable value

Pros: Good quality tone for budget strings except the E which I found a bit brittle. I purchased individual strings costing a lot more and was disappointed.

Cons: The 'E' string was too strident.

Other: none
