Thomastik Infeld Dominant Violin Strings

Dominant are the first synthetic (Perlon/Nylon) core violin strings on the market for 60+ years.  They are relatively neutral strings, offering a balanced tone with a big of grit.  Similar sound and feel to natural gut strings.

Widely regarded as “the reference standard”, Dominant strings, made with a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core, provide 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. One of the world’s most popular strings!

E - Chrome steel, ballend

A - Perlon core, aluminum wound

D - Perlon core, aluminum wound

G - Perlon core, silver wound

These strings have a highly flexible nylon core with many threads and they are manufactured for artists who do not like steel strings. The general popularity of the Dominant string is their similarity and relationship with the gut string, without the gut string disadvantages. The sound of the Dominant string is round, soft, clear and rich in overtones, live, full and brilliant, not metallic, and has also the same good tone in bowing and Pizzicato, and also an excellent stability of tuning, under extreme climatic conditions. The beauty of the sound is not unlimited but if the musician changes the strings in time, he has the guarantee of always playing consistently good tone.
