Thomastik Dominant Violin String Set 4/4 – 135 (130/131/132/133)

Dominant strings are one of the best-known synthetic-core violin string sets, designed to give a gut-like response and warmth without the usual drawbacks of gut strings. The 135 set is made for 4/4 violin and uses a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic (Perlon/nylon) core to deliver a full, mellow tone with plenty of overtones, while staying stable through changes in temperature and humidity.

This set is a popular choice for everyday playing, lessons, orchestra, and general-purpose use when you want a warm, projecting sound that doesn’t feel metallic.
