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")

Not up to standard at all
Pros: It's not physically broken in any way.
Cons: I normally get on well with Dominant strings, so hopefully I got a one off bad one, but this string has never sounded true, and took far longer to settle than ever before. It sounds dull when plucked, as if I've been playing it for a year, although there is no visible damage. Very disappointed, although as I say I normally love dominant strings.
Other: I bought an E string at the same time and have had no problems

Product good, rapid delivery option dreadful.
Pros: The string was fine.
Cons: I didn't like the lack of clarity about what you actually got in the priority postal service. In the end I felt I just wasted £8, which I was not happy about. No complaints about the product, but I expected a quick service, & paid for it, but by the time I got the string I could have gone into town & probably got it cheaper & sooner!
Other: The priority service, costing me £8 was an utter waste of money, and I would strongly advise bypassing it.
