Dominant 136 Viola A String

Thomastik-Infeld's Dominant strings are widely recognized as "the reference standard" and are legendary for distinctive tone and playability. The Dominant string's resounding success owes a lot to its similarity in tone and response to gut strings, without gut's drawbacks. The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow yet rich in overtones. Its radiance and ability to project sound without being metallic come 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. Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.
