Thomastik Dominant Pro for Violin

Since 1970 the playing styles and ideas surrounding sound have been expanded. With Dominant Pro, we are not aiming to change the basic character of Dominant, but rather to offer an additional, contemporary repertoire of the biggest advantages of Dominant Pro and Dominant strings.

What do Dominant Pro and Dominant have in common?

Both have very low string tensions and are therefore suitable for the majority of new and old instruments without putting too much strain on them. They have a similar capacity for modulation, lots of sound colour, very good tuning stability, and a very good bow response.

*In comparison to the other E-strings, DP01SN [diameter 0.262 mm, 7.9 kg, removable ball end] has a smaller diameter and is therefore ideally suited to instruments with a normal or high string position (high bridge or lowered fingerboard). In comparison to the standard DP01, DP01SN is not underlaid with nickel and is therefore somewhat more susceptible to corrosion. Thanks to a thicker layer of tin, however, it sounds warmer than DP01 and much warmer than DP01AU and DP01PT.

DP01SN also has the lowest string tension of all DOMINANT PRO E-strings, which means that almost no strain is exerted on the instruments and they can be greatly opened in terms of sound. This leads to a good bow response and also promotes the instrument’s radiance. Its low string tension means that it has the lowest resistance to bow pressure of all the DOMINANT PRO E-strings.
