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.DP200: For all you pros.

From orchestral to soloistic performances: Thanks to their vast dynamic range, Thomastik-Infeld DOMINANT PRO® strings are suitable for orchestral musicians as well as soloists. That is because they can handle the entire range of dynamics, from piano (p) to fortississimo (fff), and the use of high bow pressure.

Cannot be missed if required: DOMINANT PRO® can also assert itself optimally in large orchestras or in a quartet if required, but is also easy to play in piano (p).

Faster than ever: DOMINANT PRO® is the name of the fastest and most direct response in the entire universe – and every parallel universe.

Like chili-flavored chocolate: DOMINANT PRO® has a dark and warm sound that embraces the player and the audience. The superimposed slight sharpness brings a tingling contrast to the sound image.

Smooth transition: Despite the wide range of tonal colors, DOMINANT PRO® creates a smooth transition that ideally combines the specific timbres of the individual strings.

Individual string character:

Viola D. Synthetic core, chrome wound

Vibrating string length: 37,5cm | 14.8“

The D-string’s job is to create a homogeneous sound with the A-string and a harmonious bridge to the G-string.
The NO.DP22 succeeds at this with its easy response, pronounced brilliance and assertiveness, as well as the dark
basic timbre with mezzo-soprano components typical for the viola.

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.
