Thomastik Dominant violin strings have a full and mellow sound thats rich in overtones. These strings are designed to bring you all the timbral qualities of traditional gut strings with none of the drawbacks and all of the advantages offered by modern string-making. The strings radiate sound with none of the metallic qualities that are often heard in metal strings. A further advantage of modern string making that Dominants possess is their extreme resistance to temperature change meaning that these strings will retain their tuning even in the most trying of conditions. The materials can have a great effect on the sound a string produces. This is why string makers will design their strings to produce certain timbres or to complement certain instruments. Dominants are no exception the E string features a carbon steel core with aluminium winding. This winding darkens the sound reducing shrillness and improving the bow response making this an enjoyable string to play. The remainder of the strings feature a synthetic core synthetic cores are often used for their similarity in tone to gut while not suffering from the tuning instability lack of durability and less good projection that gut strings tend to have.
