Popular Violin String Sets
In addition to the full set of Dominant strings, another popular option among violinists is to replace the Dominant E string with the E string from another brand. If the violinist prefers a specific sound for their instrument, these combinations can often result in a warmer or more projecting tone for the upper strings.
Goldbrokat E: An E string with punch and edge. The Goldbrokat E addsbrilliance and is quite flexible.
Hill E: Not as powerful as the other E strings, but is popular for itsvery sweet sound.
GoldLabel E: Stronger than the other ThomasticDominant E strings and has a wonderful ringing tone.
Jargar E: Shares qualities similar to the Gold Label E with a rounder, more powerful sound.
Larsen E: Rounds out the Thomastik Dominant A, Dand G helping them sound more like gut strings.
PirastoOliv E: The Oliv E is brilliant and powerful especially inhigher positions.
For more E string options, consider the Dominant “no E” set to mix and match to your preference.
