Dominant series violin strings are one of the most widely-used synthetic strings. Often regarded as “the reference standard,” Dominant strings are made with a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core providing the tonal warmth and feel of a gut string while being impervious to changes in humidity. The sound is soft, clear with a stable intonation and they are rich in overtones. It's no wonder why they are one of the world’s most popular strings!
