I generally use dominants, as per recommendation by my teacher. I might start looking into trying some new ones, see if I can find some I really like. I'm Grade four standard, and do a mix of orchestral, solo, and chamber playing. Any recommendations?

I use Obligatos. I find that they're quite good, much better than Dominant strings.

Zyex, sounds decent - good lower strings - harsh E. Used to use Dominant, never tried any other brand...

I like Dominants a lot; they take about two weeks or so to really break in, but once they do, they are some of the best strings I've heard.
Currently, though, I'm sort of experimenting with CGD Obligato strings with an Evah Pirazzi A, or something like that.

viola strings
I use Zyex C,G, & D with Kaplan A on a modern French viola. They take a good week to play in and I find the sound is v.good. I've tried Dominants; I found the sound uninteresting, and I've tried Evahs which I found very overpriced.

Bassoon strings!?! Sorry!
As a double bassist, I have been using Thomastik spirocore for 30 years (professionally for 20). I'm always dreading the day when they stop making them. I don't know what I would do!
