Thomastik-Infeld141 Dominant Synthetic Core Viola Strings, Medium Gauge, 4/4 Scale, Set of 4

As an avid viola player, finding the right set of strings is crucial for achieving the best possible tone and playability. When my local music store didn't have the Thomastik-Infeld Dominant strings in stock, I reluctantly ordered a set from an online retailer based in Japan. I was initially skeptical about the purchase, worrying that the long shipping distance might result in a subpar product or lengthy delays.However, my concerns were quickly put to rest when the strings arrived at my doorstep within a week – an impressively fast turnaround time for an international order. The packaging was different from what I was used to, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were indeed the genuine Thomastik-Infeld 141 Dominant Synthetic Core Viola Strings, Medium Gauge, 4/4 Scale.As I began installing the new set of strings on my viola, I was immediately struck by their quality construction and attention to detail. The synthetic core provided a level of stability and durability that exceeded my expectations, while the aluminum-wound D and A strings offered a warm, rich tone that blended seamlessly with the violin-grade steel used for the G and C strings.Playing on these strings was an absolute delight. The medium gauge provided the perfect balance between tension and flexibility, allowing for effortless shifts and vibrato without sacrificing the depth and projection needed for solo passages. The strings sang with a clarity and resonance that truly brought out the best in my instrument.One of the standout features of the Dominant strings is their exceptional longevity. Even after weeks of regular practice and performance, the strings maintained their brilliant tone and pitch stability, showing minimal signs of wear or deterioration. This longevity not only saves me money in the long run but also ensures a consistent playing experience without the need for frequent string changes.Despite the initial skepticism about ordering from an overseas retailer, the decision to purchase the Thomastik-Infeld 141 Dominant Synthetic Core Viola Strings proved to be an excellent choice. Not only did I save a considerable amount of money compared to local prices, but the product itself exceeded my expectations in terms of quality, tone, and playability.Whether you're a professional violist or an ambitious student, these strings are an investment worth making. They offer a level of versatility and reliability that will elevate your performance and bring out the best in your instrument. Highly recommended!

Dominant strings are always my go to. My G and C strings were making an odd rattling sound (also dominants but the set was nearly a year old). New strings fixed the problem immediately! I've been playing on them about two weeks now and they're finally starting to settle so that I'm not tuning constantly. This set has been slightly less consistent with intonation than my last set but it's not something I'm worried about since all strings do that. Overall, they have a good, strong sound and they're very sturdy, reliable strings.

I upgraded to silver strings on accident, I didn't read the item listing and holy heck I love these over traditional steel strings so much. I don't think I will ever go back.

This is fits my 15" viola, I don't know why the seller used 4/4 when violas aren't measured like that, maybe they're a violinist. Nonetheless amazing strings. I thought they would be rip offs considering it's so cheap here compared to other places, but they're very good.

For us string players, we know perfection. THIS PRODUCT IS PERFECTION.

These are excellent strings as far as quality sound goes. I have purchased them at a cheaper price at the music store in Los Angeles. I felt these were a little pricey, although I needed them right away and had to buy them this time around. Shop around first you can probably get them a little cheaper at a music store.

People complain about receiving knockoffs of quality strings from some Amazon sellers, but these are real Dominants at a very good price. Recommended.

I’ve never ordered strings before from Amazon. It was cheaper to order this set and add on my usual Jargar A string. When I put the strings on, I noticed the C and G were wound with silver, but the D string was wound with aluminum. I had not had aluminum wound strings before. I’m not sure this will be bad, it is just for your information.

Son excelentes cuerdas, pero no le doy las % estrellas, porque siempre que las he comprado, el paquete de cuerdas viene sellado, y este paquete que me llego ya venia abierto, las revise con cuidado y estaban bien, sin embargo eso me quito tiempo,

ottimo prodotto

Buen producto

しばらくヘリコアを張ってだけどドミナントに変えたら柔らかいいい音に感激。いろいろ試してきたけどやはり定番だけどドミナントはいいというのが実感です。

La cuerda la se rompió en menos de un mes, tras un uso normal.
