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.

Aluminium E Set with ball end only. For loop end E set please order four individual strings.

Steel E set (135B) E has a loop end with removable ball to take out 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.

1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")

1/4 - LOB 280mm (11")

Good strings at a good price
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Relatively cheap to buy for a fairly good sounding long lasting string that stays in tune well.

Cons: The dominant E strings tend to be a bit harsh but using an alternative E solves this and still works out cheaper if you buy the set and then you can keep the dominant E as a spare in case it all goes wrong!
