Dominant Pro Violin String, D

We welcome the new year and with it, a new era.

50 years after the debut of the most popular 'Dominant' string, Thomastik-Infeld presents its latest offering: DOMINANT PRO.

This set is the collaborative result of daily consultations with top-class, international musicians who have often requested the development of an additional, similar set but with expanded possibilities of the existing DOMINANT strings. The set is darker but more focused than the pre-existing DOMINANT strings, with greater resistance to bow pressure & a larger dynamic range.

Available in medium tension, the Pro strings are exceptionally powerful with a 'bell-like' tonal character. Suitable for soloists, chamber musicians and orchestra players.

DP03A - The 'D' is a silver-wound synthetic core string. The tonal lifespan of the entire violin string set is chiefly dependent upon this string. With the help of a silver alloy, Thomastik were able to combine the advantages of a silver string with those of the aluminium 'D' found in the standard Dominant set.

Individual string character:

Synthetic core – Aluminum wound

Vibrating string length: 32,5cm | 12,8“

For musicians who prefer a larger D-string diameter, the aluminum-wound DP03 [4.6 kg] offers an alternative to the thinner DP03A. 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.
