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.

Excellent Dominant strings.

Pros: Excellent strings , put them on my children's violins, now I'm giving it a go as a very mature beginner, I might as well benefit from decent strings.

Cons: None

Other: First mistake, muddled them up and put G string in D location, surprise surprise it broke when I tuned it to D!

Dominants dominate the string market. QED

Pros: Reliable, dependable, settle in after a few days and not affected much by changes in temperature/humidity. Produce a nice tone - even the E string (on my violin), which some people don't like.

Cons: None.
