Thomastik Dominant 1/8 Medium Violin String Set

Since 1970, Dominant violin strings, with their distinctive and revolutionary string design, have been a reliable partner for generations of diverse violinists and are among the most widely used violin strings in the world. Inspired by the sound ideals of the great masters, Dominant strings deliver a vibrant tone through their broad sound, dark sound core, and brilliant, metallic overtones. By balancing bow speed and pressure at various contact points, they allow violinists to effortlessly modulate a wide range of timbres with a fine bow noise. This unique blend of sound qualities results in an exceptionally honest character that highlights the individual sound of a violin. The Dominant concept of low string tension relieves the instrument and offers a sustainable string choice for old, valuable violins. Due to these properties, Dominant strings are used by luthiers as a reference tool for evaluating the sound and playability of an instrument.
