Pros: Dominant is the string for you if you want some of the resistance of a wound gut string (eg Eudoxa) but without it going out of tune so much. Light tension Dominant is good on a bright sounding modern violin.
Cons: Can sound a bit dull after two months or so

Pros: They are strong. They do not snap easily. They make a Strong sound.
Cons: They are too brash and metalic sounding. These strings lack the sweet sound of honey that should lend itself to the Violin.

Pros: I bought the string on the advice of a violin teacher. It came quickly and was what we wanted. I am a class teacher and we maintain a single violin which we use to instruct and motivate the children. A good service.
Cons: It seems perfect.
