Dominant synthetic core strings, comparable in sound to gut,
without gut's disadvantages.
These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic
core and cater for artists who feel uncomfortable with steel
strings. The resounding success of our Dominant string
owes a lot to its similarity in tone and response to gut
strings, without gut's attendant drawbacks.
The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet
rich in overtones. Its radiance, its ability to project sound
without being metallic, comes to the fore both in arco and
pizzicato. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless
response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even
under extreme atmospheric conditions. But Dominant's
beauty of tone is not as long lasting as that of a steel string,
a price the discerning musician will be prepared to pay for
this quality of sound. Dominant strings should be changed
at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.
