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 strings. Excellent retailer. 5* service
Pros: This was the second set I had purchased from Stringzone. Excellent value for money and really good strings. Speedy delivery.
Cons: None
Other: When I ordered these I had just had to restring my daughter's violin 2 days before her exam and she was then worried about having a spare set in time. I ordered them late on Wednesday evening and they arrived Friday morning

Pros: Reliable tuning, good tone, reasonably priced for the quality they are.
Cons: Always a little metallic-sounding before they're played in - so get practising!
Other: Always my first recommendation to pupils as a balance between quality and price.
