Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These are great strings. I suppose it all depends on the instrument. I have a single-back, $4000-ish violin. Certainly not a strad, but not a garage-sale model either. The Dominant strings made it really bright, almost obnoxious. I didn't really understand what I didn't like about the violin until I put these strings on. Now, I sound like a pro. The strings are well balanced, especially going from A to E. I can get a variety of tones from the instrument. I especially like the darker tone. All-in-all, I'm really happy with these strings.

There are two kinds of E strings. The gold-plated E strings are manufactured using a special process, which considerably improves their performance and sound in relation to conventional gold-plating methods. The 'silver' E strings are galvanised, which allows their sound characteristcs to come to the fore unimpaired. The rest of the strings have a composite core, which fulfills all the functional characteristcs expected of a great string. The first winding of the string consists of a alloy which actually occurs in Nature, which is why it is designated as 'Natural Alloy'. Already centuries ago this type of alloy was regarded as having special properties. The G string is wound in pure silver, assuring optimum density. The A and D strings are wound with an alloy called hydronalium, which makes for good bow contact and excellent balance between bowing noise and resultant string sound.
