I recently bought Thomastik Dominant Violin Strings from SW Strings. I was amazed at the difference they made in the sound of my electric violin. I play in our church Praise Band and have received numerous comments on how much better my violin sounds. It even startled me the difference they made in the total sound and mellowness of the music. I’m considering buying a second set as backup should I ever break a string, I wouldn’t want to use a lesser quality string in its place.
