Thomastik Dominant Violin Strings 135 have been made in Austria for years and are arguably the most popular selling Violin Strings and very popular with trad players.
The Dominant Strings series is probably Thomastik's best known violin strings. Designed to mimic the feel and warmth of a gut string without the inconvenience of a string that cannot be kept in tune, dominant violin strings are made with a multi-strand synthetic core. The Dominant violin strings provide good resistance to changes in humidity or temperature and deliver long string life. The sound is delicate but clear and rich in overtones.
