These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater for artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings. 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. Comparable in sound to gut, without gut's disadvantages. 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. N.B. The playing and tuning peg length of the string are critical, so the string used should be exactly matched to the instrument's measurements

I'm a beginner cellist, so these were great for my purposes.

Just bought these. Super excited. But the A string coil shredded upon installation. I will be wanting a refund.

Strings last a very long time and stay in tune better than most brands. I use them on my mandolins as well.

These are wonderful cello strings - the standard for many students and pros alike. Great value.

激安のスチール弦に不満があり、交換してみました。音やテンションの柔らかさに満足してます。ただ最初のチューニングでA線がナット部分でほつれてしまったのが残念です。耐久性は弱いかな。

全体的にはよい音のするよい弦だと思います。張力がスチール弦よりは小さいので力をかけすぎると、よい音はしないようですし、音程にも悪影響があります。事故で弦が一旦緩んでしまうと、チューニングが安定を取り戻すのに少し時間がかかるようです。テールピース側のエンドの巻糸野色が4弦で全部バラバラです。統一感がなく気になる方には気になるかもしれません。

Ho comprato queste corde perchè trovavo le vecchie corde di serie un po' dure e scomode da suonare...effettivamente queste corde sono molto più morbide e comode, ma non per questo povere di suono, anzi.Veramente ottime il RE e in particolare il LA, dal suono ricco e non troppo squillante; inoltre particolarmente robusta.Sebbene anche i bassi godano delle medesime caratteristiche qualitative, il loro punto carente però è il volume: se nelle prime due corde infatti, questa carenza viene in qualche modo sopperita dalla loro relativa altezza, nelle ultime due corde, la mancanza di una spinta in più (soprattutto sulla corda DO) si fa ben presto sentire.Probabilmente, il musicista avanzato sentirà il bisogno di sostituire i 2 bassi con delle corde in metallo, o magari sempre con Dominant ma di tensione maggiore. In ogni caso, per il principiante vanno più che bene,ConsigliateP.S. non mi è piaciuto molto lo stato in cui è arrivata la confezione: le corde erano in buono stato, ma il pacchetto era notevolmente maltrattato.

The A string, while being professionally installed; , the installer reported that the "A" string was defective.The D string was placed directly on after the A. The D string seemed to be up to standard. I believe the seller is obligated to replace the A string, for you've sold me a defected product.

das Instrument reagiert positiv auf diese Saiten in jeder Hinsicht; sie sind quintenrein, halten die Stimmung und sprechen gut an.
