In 2021, Thomastik-Infeld in Vienna presented a new generation of strings, namely DOMINANT PRO . The Dominant PRO strings are a logical continuation and refinement of the well-known Dominant strings and are ideally suited for chamber musicians, soloists and orchestral musicians. In 2022 these will now also be available for viola.
The main features, according to Thomastik, are:
- Powerful tonal character
- High resistance to bow pressure
- Exceptionally powerful, good balance between brilliant and warm sound
- High level of dynamics suitable for solo playing
- Easy approachability
- Permanent support of the appearance of the instrument
- A wall-to-wall range of sound colours
The following strings comprise the Dominant Pro range (A strings with removable ball, rest ball end):
- A string DP21 with carbon steel core and chrome winding
- D string DP22 with synthetic core and chrome winding
- G string DP23 with synthetic core and silver winding
- C string DP24 with synthetic core and silver/tungsten winding
