A good string for electric fiddle

Pros: It has an excellent tone on my electric fiddle. I play in a ceildh band, so I find suits the style well.

Cons: I tried it on my approx 100 years old fiddle, which has a light soft tone, and I did not like the sound of the dominant on it. It was too harsh and loud.

Dominant e-string

Pros: Pure tone and just as good as any 'non-whistling' e-strings.

Cons: None

Other: After trying virtually every brand of e-string I can find the no-frills Dominant is the most reliable I've had.
