Dominant Viola String – D

Description

The Dominant string is a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core string for tonal warmth and feel of gut and is impervious to changes in humidity, allowing for stable intonation and long life. The sound is soft, clear and rich in overtones. Dominant strings, widely recognized as “the reference standard”, are legendary for distinctive tone and playability.

Vibrating string length refers to the length of the string between bridge and the top nut. Not the back length of the viola! So a 15 or 16in viola is usually classed as 4/4 or 37cm vibrating length.
