beginners view of Dominant
Pros: I am learning to play the violin, and so would not be able to compare any strings. However, Dominant were what my tutor recommended and she and her family are always more than happy with them, as they are all professional players.
Cons: None

Pleased after slight hiccup
Pros: Good to have a spare set in my case so whichever string breaks I can replace it immediately. Service is very fast!
Cons: None
Other: Slight problem in that I was originally sent 2 E strings and no G, but I was sent the correct string and an SAE to return the wrong one the next day.
