Dominant Violin Strings

Strings are vital to the violin's sound production, and just as the construction of an instrument affects the sound quality, so does the type of string. When players perform with Dominant strings, they know they'll achieve their desired sound. And when educators recommend Dominant strings to their students, they know they'll play with more confidence.

Here's why:

• their sound is clear, soft and rich in overtones, full and brilliant yet not metallic
• the highly flexible perlon (synthetic) core offers the sound and feel similar to gut strings without the disadvantages of gut strings -- they are relatively unaffected by temperature and humidity changes and thus stay in tune longer
• they are lower in tension than steel strings, making them easier for students to play
• they are specifically engineered for a variety of fractional-size violins and are not just a "cut down" version of full-size strings
• they fulfill the needs of all playing styles and levels from beginners to virtuosos

Dominants are used by some of the most renowned violinists in their concert appearances -- Ashley MacIsaac (does new things with the old music of the Scottish highlanders), Mairead Nesbitt (worked with Van Morrison, Sinead O'Conner to name a few), Itzak Perlman (virtuoso), Gene Elders (fiddle master with Joan Baez, Johnny Edson, to name a few) -- and many others.

If you're not sure which strings to buy for your violin, buy these!
