Dominant · Reading the Range

A perlon
core, since 1970.

Dominant was introduced in 1970 and successfully broke into a market then dominated by conventional gut strings. The synthetic core delivers greater resistance to atmospheric conditions and a longer useful life.

For more than fifty years, the standard-issue conservatoire-and-orchestra violin string. Continues to be produced in Austria.
