Reviews around rest (5.00 of 5)

  • The A string tends to be a little too introverted, and is sometimes not quite as responsive as the rest of the set- the sound never gets that full bodied ring that everyone is looking for.

Reviews around orchestra (5.00 of 5)

  • Good orchestra strings, bad solo/chamber music strings, also fantastic if you don't want to drop $100 on Obligatos/Larsens and your instrument hates Helicores

Reviews around sound (3.61 of 5)

  • Great Strings just love the sound on the viola
  • Overall, they have a good, strong sound and they're very sturdy, reliable strings.
  • My G and C strings were making an odd rattling sound (also dominants but the set was nearly a year old)
  • They have an average response speed, feel good under the hand (shifting and action are smooth), and get a fairly strong sound that is never too bright

  • Comparable in sound to gut, without gut's disadvantages These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater for artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings
  • 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.
