Pros: I always buy Dominant A, D and G strings because they stay in tune well.
Cons: The downside of Dominant A strings that thety only last for about six months. Perhaps I play too much!

Pros: Very reliable,responsive strings,the modest price belies the good quality.Years ago Dominant strings seemed to be viewed in the'school quality'category but they have outperformed their more expensive rivals in my opinion.
Cons: no cons.
Other: The heavy gauge I requested and easily obtained from The String Zone is perhaps an unusual choice and usually hard to come by in standard music shops.

Pros: Consistent tone, reliable quality.
Cons: There's nothing I don't like about the Dominant A string.
Other: I found your website info as to string choice really helpful and informative. Your postal service was great too. I needed the strings quickly, and I received the strings quickly - also at a better price than locally. Thanks, String Zone, I shall continue to use you in future for all my musical needs.

Pros: I find they give good tonal quality. They stay in tune far better than other strings that I have tried and they don't cost the earth.
Cons: Can't think of any cons.
Other: They came very quickly.
