Product Information

Steel core strings are popular strings that produce brighter tones. These strings are developed with different steel materials and are some of the most affordable strings that are available for violins.

The Dominant Violin E string is available in a number of different options: Wound or plain steel and with a loop or ball end. You may determine that you want your violin’s E-string to produce a wider range of tones but that you want the other three strings of your instrument to have greater tensions. Thomastik Dominants are the most popular synthetic core violin strings amongst amateurs as well as professional violinists and soloists. Hilary Hahn plays Dominants. The tension and gauge varies in light, medium, and heavy, steel-core having higher tension and gut-core strings lower tension. It’s best to begin with medium gauge and test other levels of tension as you advance. Replacing old and tired strings will renew the sound from a flat tone to a vibrant and cleaner tone no matter the tension.
