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.

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.

Good strings for an intermediate player.

Teacher

Very happy to buy these great quality strings.

Pros: I have used these Dominant strings for years & have always found their tone quality high, holding this quality for a long time & are strong enough to cope with very regular playing. Buying the strings from The String Zone provides good value for money, with excellent service.

Cons: They do take a little while to play in.
