Great string set

Mariko 05.06.2018

I use this string in combination with Pirastro gold E string. I've started to use this combination of strings because I've read that many professionals also use this combination and that it fits most violins. As a beginner with not a lot of experience and/or money I don't feel like experimenting a lot. So I believed what I read and bought this one. And I'm perfectly happy with it!

I like that the sound of these strings, and that they last a long time. I change them every 6 months and play an hour a day. I don't have to re-tune much either. Just a slight turn with the fine tuner every day is enough. I will keep buying these strings in the future.
Also I very much like the ordering process with Thomann. It's easy to track the goods and the delivery is very fast which is awesome!

Good quality neutral strings

agiusti.edael 15.05.2024

Every time I tried different brands I always ended up going back to Dominant. They are good quality neutral strings, whihc means that they are bang in the middle in terms of color and tone. They don't make your violin sound warmer or brighter, they don't add any specific character of their own, they are perfectly balanced accross the tonal spectrum, which is the reason why there are so many Stradivari or Guarnieri violins out there strung with Dominant to let the natural tone of the violin shine through. They'll sound decent on a decent violin, beautifully in a beautiful violin etc. Only downside is the dreaded e, which is almost always replaced with a less harsh sounding e (I personally use Pirastro Gold Label)

Fine strings when you don’t know what to choose

JustAnotherAsian 03.12.2021

Dominants are used by many great violinists. I started with Tonica strings, switched to Warchal Amber and ended with Dominants (budget reasons). I’m still fan of Warchal Amber because the sound on my violin is very warm. However, Dominants have almost the same sound quality (little bit less warm) but are much cheaper.
The only thing I don’t like about this set is the E string, but probably is because of my amateur skills ;-)
Anyway, if you don’t know where to start when choosing strings, these strings are really good to start with. And depending on your own sound preferences you can switch to other type of strings by means of a string chart.

Good, but not for everyone

Gurteen 02.07.2019

These are good strings, even though my violin at the moment doesn't like them, but I don't blame that on the strings. It takes a while to get the right strings for a particular violin and my new violin just didn't sound good with them. (My old violin loved them). It's an expensive trial and error but finally settled on prim strings (bonus is they also are cheaper) so, yes.. very good strings.. but not for me at this time.

Thomastick strings, as usual, satisfy a lot

novoscrivano 18.01.2023

They quickly remain firmly in tune. Used on "young" instruments that are in full running-in phase and have yet to develop their sound, as well as on "old" instruments that already have a structured sound, they offer a good sound balance, power and response to bow strokes. For high-end instruments you can consider replacing the string of the E to look for a more open and round one, but we are in the field of nuances.

Live long and prosper

Slavko.Nemec 02.10.2019

This strings are amazing regards to reliability. They are last long long long time and give you great sound for price. Very stabile by changing temperature and moistre (of course deppends of condition of your pegs and peg box). I would strongly recommend to students, intermediate and advance violin players.

Good place to start

BrianOQR 19.03.2019

This are nice strings, easy to bow, for a reasonable price.

Not ideal for alternative tuning as it greatly reduces the life expectancy of the strings.

When learning or playing parts that I am not confident with, I prefer to use the strings as they create a reasonable sound even when you make small bowing mistakes

Entry level high-end srings.

Decimus 26.12.2023

I use these sgrings for almost 5 years now.
They are very good quality and they have a very good warm sound on my violin.
They need at about 3 to 4 days to be formated and set their tone on the instrument wich is good.
Real value for money strings!

It's the standard for a good reason

BramsC 21.04.2024

These are one of the market's standard strings because they are reliable and do the trick. Compared to other cheaper strings they sound lively and clear.
