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, (all fractional sets will come with the aluminium wound E). The set 135B features a plain Chrome plated steel E which will appeal to advanced players for its clarity and projection.
Aluminium E Set with ball end only. For loop end E set please order four individual strings.
Steel E set (135B) E has a loop end with removable ball to take out 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.
4/4 - LOB 356mm (14")
3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")
1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")
1/4 - LOB 280mm (11")

Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

lovely warm tone wish i'd bought them sooner!
Pros: Bought these strings to replace the awful set I purchased (because they were cheap from elsewhere - they are called resonance and have gone in the bin and I wouldn't recommend them at all) and these dominant strings sing beautifully and have alovely warm tone a pleasure to hear my daughter play again. My daughter is grade 5 on the violin.
Cons: N/a

Great quality strings, fair price!
Pros: I love, love, LOVE these strings! Fairly priced and the quality is worth it! Perfect for all playing types. If you need anymore persuading - Sarah Chang uses them on occasions, they used to be her favourite strings!
Cons: They can get worn out quite quickly which means having to keep purchasing them every few months!

Great set of strings for a beginniner
Pros: I bought these for my daughter who is a beginner on the violin. It has made a difference to the quality of the sound she is able to produce. THe strings are thicker and less tinny than the strings she had previously on her hired violin. Much more satisfying for her to play.
Cons: None
