DP100 set is well-balanced with a broad sound color range. It reacts immediately with a focued sound core and bell-like tonal character. High resistance to bow pressure and exceptionally powerful. Ideally suited for orchestra, chamber music and soloistic needs.

With Dominant Pro violin strings Thomastik was not aiming the change the basic character of Dominant, but rather to offer an additional contemporary repertoire of strings. Dominant Pro and Dominant 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 color, very good tuning stability, and a very good bow response.

Dominant Pro offers a longer tonal lifespan, reduces wolf tones, and is very balanced between the individual strings. They are more focused and darker than original Dominant. They offer greater resistance to bow pressure and have a larger dynamic range. Dominant Pro has a bell-like sound that fills the room directly after stringing. The strings have a powerful, clear, and loud voice with a high ability to sustain sound.

Immediately after stringing, the string set sounds bell-like and fills the room. In the first three to five hours of playing, the strings feel a touch softer and sound a little warmer than they do for the rest of their lifespan. Then the strings open up, sound more brilliant and open, and feel a little tighter beneath the fingers. The bell-like sound that fills the room decreases slightly in the last third of the strings’ life and they sound more direct – from this point on, the tonal character of the strings barely changes.
