The other three strings are made with a blend of aluminum, steel, and Perlon (nylon).

Review: Excellent strings! - I’ve tried a handful of different violin strings over the years, but I keep coming back to Dominants—and after putting a fresh set on my violin last month, I’m reminded why they’re still one of the most recommended options out there. The first thing that really stands out is the clarity. Every note speaks cleanly, even right after installation. There’s no fuzziness or delay in response; the sound is crisp without being overly bright, which is exactly what I look for when I’m playing both classical and folk styles. Another big plus is the overall tonal balance. Dominants sit in that sweet spot between warm and brilliant. They don’t get muddy, but they also don’t sound metallic or thin. On my instrument, they bring out a nice resonance that feels natural and consistent across all four strings. I especially love how even the transition from string to string feels—no one string sticks out in a weird way. Responsiveness is also excellent. Fast passages feel smooth, and the strings grab the bow easily without extra effort. If you do a lot of dynamic changes or articulations, these strings won’t fight you. They’re very predictable in the best way. I also have to mention tuning stability. Dominants settle surprisingly fast, and once they’re in, they stay in tune well. For anyone who practices daily or performs often, that’s a huge benefit. Durability has been solid for me too—these usually last a few months before I notice any real drop in tone. Overall, if you want strings that deliver clarity, reliability, and a balanced sound without any surprises, Dominants are a great choice. They may not be the flashiest or newest option, but they’re popular for a reason. I’d definitely recommend them.
Review: Great! - Title: Exceptional Tone and Quality Craftsmanship I recently upgraded my 3/4 size violin with the Thomastik-Infeld 135B.34 Dominant Violin Strings Set, and the difference in sound quality has been nothing short of remarkable. The first thing that struck me was the warm and rich tone produced by these strings. They offer a full-bodied sound with excellent projection, making my violin truly come alive. The Dominant series is known for its versatility, and these strings live up to that reputation, delivering equally well in classical, folk, and contemporary genres. The craftsmanship of these strings is evident from the moment you start playing. The materials used are of the highest quality, and the winding is impeccable. The strings are also responsive and easy to play, allowing for nuanced expression and dynamic range. The responsiveness to bowing techniques and finger articulation is particularly noteworthy, enhancing the overall playing experience. One of the key advantages of the Thomastik-Infeld Dominant series is their quick settling time. After the initial stretching period, these strings stabilized remarkably fast, allowing me to enjoy their optimal performance sooner than expected. This is a significant convenience for musicians who want to achieve their desired sound without a prolonged break-in period. Additionally, the durability of these strings is impressive. They have proven resilient to changes in temperature and humidity, maintaining their tone and playability over time. This longevity adds to the overall value, considering the investment in high-quality strings. While the Thomastik-Infeld 135B.34 Dominant Violin Strings Set is priced at a premium compared to some other options on the market, the exceptional tone, craftsmanship, and durability make them well worth the investment for serious musicians. Whether you're a professional or a dedicated student, these strings can elevate the performance of your 3/4 size violin to new heights. In my experience, they have become an essential component of my setup, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking top-tier violin strings.

## Features

- For Beginners And Professionals: Made from aluminum, nylon, and steel, Dominant violin strings give players a rich focus and deep sound. Whether you are just learning or are a seasoned musician, they offer easy playability for all phases of players.
- Quick Response: Because the A, D, and G strings are made with nylon and aluminum, this set of strings for violins gives a quicker response and a richer focus for a more dramatic sound. They also have low tension with excellent tuning stability.
- Superior Sound: While this is sold as a complete set of strings, our 135B model is different from others because of the E string specifically. This 4/4 violin strings set has a steel ball end, which gives it a deeper tone than most other E strings.
- Enhanced Clarity: The 135B violin string sets deliver a brilliant and open sound with pronounced clarity. The highly corrosion-resistant E-string enhances these qualities, providing even faster response and a direct sound character.
- Meeting Your Needs: Crafted by Thomastik-Infeld, a company with a legacy of making musical strings since 1919, this violin string set measures 1 x 1 x 1 inches and is lightweight at just 0.64 ounces. The silver-toned aluminum strings ensure durability.
