Thomastik-Infeld Dominant Pro Cello String C. 4/4

Emanuel Graf reviewing Thomastik-Infeld DOMINANT PRO® for cello

Overview

50 years after the debut of Dominant, Thomastik-Infeld presents its latest string revolution: DOMINANT PRO

With this new product, Thomastik-Infeld are not aiming to change the basic character of DOMINANT, but rather to offer an additional, contemporary repertoire of strings.

Professional: Thomastik-Infeld DOMINANT PRO® NO.DP400: For all you pros.

Inspiration redefined: Inspired by the sound of a tube amplifier and using the playing possibilities created by an innovative metal core, DOMINANT PRO® redefines past tonal ideals. The set has an airy, light sound character with pronounced, brilliant overtones and a pleasantly warm basic timbre with plenty of texture. DOMINANT PRO® is a sheer joy to play.

ModulationPlus: Highest modulation capacity of timbres and sound structure: depending on the playing style, the sound of the strings can be formed with incredible brilliance or to be warm, round and saturated. The sound structure can be wonderfully modulated from fine-grained to coarse-grained.

Shhh ... Pow! The dynamic range extends from an airy and delicate pianissimo (pp) to a rich fortissimo (ff).

Faster than ever: DOMINANT PRO® is the name of the fastest and most direct response within the Thomastik-Infeld cello string repertoire. Especially at high bow speed, the strings develop their supporting resonance.

Structure: Rich colors and also an especially structured sound!

Individual string character:

Cello C. Sprial core, tungsten / nickel alloy

Vibrating string length: 70cm | 27.6“

The C-string NO.DP44 has an intense dark and particularly rich sound. Its beautiful bass-baritone sound with
seductively growly notes supports the resonance of the whole set.

What makes Dominant Pro so special?

DOMINANT PRO sound darker, more focused and respond more directly than Dominant strings. Despite their direct response, they give musicians the possibility to create a broad range of sound colours. The string tensions have been increased by an incremental amount to adapt the resistance to bow pressure to suit the extended playing requirements of musicians without overburdening their instrument.

DOMINANT PRO strings assert themselves very well against the sound of an entire orchestra and with corresponding dynamics and a capacity for modulation, they also offer excellent possibilities when used in chamber music.
