DOMINANT PRO violin string D by Thomastik-Infeld

With the new DOMINANT PRO strings, Thomastik-Infeld meets the special expectations of today's musicians in terms of sound aesthetics and technical requirements. Building on the legendary DOMINANT, Thomastik-Infeld wants to expand the repertoire of tonal possibilities with the new DOMINANT PRO and at the same time do justice to the most varied of playing styles.

The following can be highlighted as special qualities:

• a large dynamic range, which means that the strings can be played particularly quietly, but also very loudly
• the improved resistance to bow pressure compared to the classic DOMINANT string, which makes the DOMINANT PRO ideal for solo use
• the pronounced balance between brilliance and warmth
• a supporting effect on the radiance of the instrument
• creates a room-filling sound
• very good bow response

D string DP03 aluminium
For musicians who prefer a larger D-string diameter, the aluminum-wound DP03 [4.6 kg] offers an alternative to the thinner DP03A (silver). The diameter lies between that of the Dominant Pro A- and G-string. The sound characteristics are similar to the silver-wound DP03A; however, the bow noise is coarser, the response more direct, and brilliance and projection capacity are increased. The decision swings somewhat more in favor of DP03 if the feel of a thicker string is preferred.

Thomastik-Infeld recommends the Peter Infeld Rosin (item no. 501092) as a suitable rosin.
