Good 'All -rounders'

found the following review helpful
Pros: These are good 'all rounders' and are one of the few strings that fit the bigger instrument with a longer string length. Always keep a bunch of these to hand,and the price is not prohibitive.
Cons: The A isn't to my taste..far too bright. The bright characteristic of these strings may not suit all musical tastes.

Pros: A warm and nicely balanced sound. These strings settle quickly and take only a few days to fully 'play in'. Very professional and great customer service, help and advice.
Cons: None
Other: Double and triple check your viola measurements to ensure you get the right size strings.

Pros: they are really hard-wearing. my last set lasted twenty years! I use them on a modern (1986) handmade instrument.
Cons: They sound quite twangy and brash to begin with but after a few weeks are settling nicely.

Pros: Sensitive, powerful.
Cons: Rather brash to start with (a week or so); starts to go a bit dull after a few months.
Other: I always return to Dominant having tried others. No more experiments now.

Dominant strings remain a excellent value
Pros: Limited playing after two broken bonrs left hand. Much better than I remeber frommany years back. Tonally and response good. Durability, too soon to say.
Cons: Generally good but wonder if A string could be stronger using a metal A rather than standard synthtic.
