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.
