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.

Very affordable alternative to Pirazzi's. Dominant's may or may not pair well depending on your instrument, but it did pair well with mine. Found the sound to be much deeper and soothing than Pirazzi's. Helps that they last a while as well. If you are looking for a gut sound but affordable and durable strings, use the dominants.

I play a Luis and Clark carbon fiber viola. They recommend Dominant C, G, and D strings, and a Larsen A; I've tried others and have found that this string combination is by far the best for my fiddle, just as they told me it would be.
