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.

No longer a reliable string.
Pros: nothing
Cons: I've totally lost faith in Dominants. Two A strings gave up the ghost quickly - the second one never even settled, it just got flatter and flatter until it snapped half an inch from the tuner.
Other: Dominants are low tension. Suits some, but not me.
