Questions & Answers

What is the price of a 4/4 size, steel E string with G, D, and A string normal violin string?

This is the 135B set (which includes a steel ball end E string). $55. The price of the map is $99 dollars.

Is there a ball end to all of the strings?

My set of four 135B Medium Synthetic Core balls came with a loop end E and a separate ball in a bag. I had to insert the ball into the E's loop, then twist it with pliers to make it a ball-shaped loop. end E- string. It's not difficult at all.

Be Wary of the Buyer It's not an E string with a ball end
3/5

This was a replacement set for one of my students, so I bought it. The quality is what one would expect from a Dominant string. However, despite what the review stated, I did not receive a ball end E string. I was unable to return the strings because they were required quickly. I am extremely dissatisfied with the seller (not Thomastik) and the item that was shipped due to the inaccurate description.

Beware! The 129SN e string, the cheapest tin-plated string, is included in this set! The product description on Amazon doesn't specify which E-book is included
3/5

This collection includes the following strings: The 135B string set should include 130 string (the most expensive alminum wound string among the three E-strings), according to Dominant's website (see first image). They provide strings). When I opened this package to replace my strings, I discovered that it included the 129SN E-string. rather than the 130 E-string string! In addition, the E- The string I received has a unique price sticker (see image 2), which leads me to believe that the seller replaced the expensive 130 alminum wound E-string. use this low-cost tin-string string with plating! I'm angry because I've been duped!.

I adore Dominants, and the ball arrives in a small pouch for me to attach! Dominant strings have always been one of my favorites
5/5

students. I recently ordered a set with a ball E string, but when the strings arrived, I mistook the E string for a loop instead of a ball. Ball E strings have always come with the ball at the end of the strings, as far as I can remember. This E string was included with the ball, which I was responsible for attaching. At first, I didn't notice the small package tucked away inside the paper string pouch.

The sound is vastly improved over the original strings
5/5

I replaced the strings on my son's "beginner's student violin" with steel core strings for less than $10. It sounded like a dying cat when a missing note was played. A missed note sounds exactly like a missed note when played on these strings. As if you were playing the piano and pressing the key next to the one you wanted to play. It doesn't sound "right," but you're not looking for ear plugs, and he's having more fun playing because the sound is so much better. His violin was of good quality, according to his teacher, but the strings needed to be changed. Now everything is perfect.

After three months, unraveling a string (update)
3/5

In April of 2020, I purchased a set of these. In July 2020, the A string began to unravel around the D note. I'm past the 30-day return period, and the seller refuses to replace the string, claiming that the string's life span is only 2 to 3 months, depending on how frequently the instrument is played. br>I understand the sound of the string fading after 2 or 3 months, but I wouldn't expect the string to unwind at the fingerboard; my daughter is only 11 years old, has little muscle mass, and only plays for 30 minutes a day, so it's not hard core, heavy duty usage. br>I was dissatisfied with both the product and the experience I had with the seller. br>br>8/15/20 Update: We took the violin to the music store where we bought it, and they confirmed that it shows signs of what happens to violins in teens, namely, sweat from the fingers, which are more acidic than usual at this age. Other strings are starting to discolor, and there's a white streak on the fingerboard where the string touches it, indicating sweaty fingers. Before playing, I'm going to wash my hands with soap. As a result, I apologize for my previous review about the string's life. However, I'm still undecided about whether or not to retract the seller's review, so that piece is still TBD. Thanks.

Sound quality is excellent
5/5

The audio quality is outstanding. In my opinion, it is too expensive for a beginner, but it is well worth it for someone who enjoys music (violin) and values sound quality. Advanced (high school/college level) performance is something I would recommend. That is merely an estimate. For a beginner or new violin player (someone who isn't sure if the violin is something they want to pursue/is just trying it out), it is not necessary. ) This is for an advanced violinist looking for a high-quality sound. Strings are fantastic!.

These sound like they'd be enjoyable to listen to
5/5

They've been on for quite some time and are still going strong. It took a lot longer than I expected to break these strings in. I'd been using Helicore strings for a while and was interested in seeing what all the fuss was about with these Dominants. These do indeed have a nice ring to them. They've been on for a while, have broken in, and sound fantastic.

A reliable string that is well-known in the industry
5/5

As a teacher, I was fed up with cheap strings that started out bad, got worse, and at best sounded bad. Students, particularly those who play student violins, must be able to achieve good intonation and the best tone possible. Violin abandonment is a result of shoddy instruments and shoddy strings. For decades, teachers and professional players have relied on Dominants as their go-to game.
