DOMINANT violin string SET by Thomastik-Infeld

Thomastik-Infeld Dominant 135B – The world’s most popular reference among violin strings

The Thomastik Dominant 135B violin strings are among the most widely played string sets worldwide – and for good reason. With their proven perlon core, reminiscent of traditional gut strings, they offer a warm, round and simultaneously radiant tone with rich overtones. They respond reliably, feel comfortable under the fingers and are easy to play – ideal for beginners, advanced students and professional musicians.

In the 135B version, the set includes a plain steel E-string that delivers clear response, brilliant highs and excellent projection. The combination of perlon core (A–D–G) with the steel E-string makes this set particularly versatile and musically expressive.
