Dominant nylon core strings
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.
N.B. The playing and tuning peg length of the string are critical, so the string
used should be exactly matched to the instrument's measurements.
