Description
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.
Designed for both solo and orchestral use. That is because they can handle the entire range of dynamics, from piano (p) to fortississimo (fff), and the use of high bow pressure.
A dark, warm tone, more focused, and responds 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.
Vibrating string length: 37,5cm | 14.8“

Pros: Amazing. First set of strings I've used that sounded great straight out of the pack. They hold their tuning incredibly well too for a new set, which is just as well since the A was an emergency change just before a session. Lovely round tone, no harshness anywhere, handle high bow pressure amazingly well. Looks like I've found a new favourite.
Cons: None

Dominant Pro strings are amazing!
Pros: Wow! Straight on the instrument and they sounded great. The usual “breaking in” period is a thing of the past. Tone was amazing and rich regardless of the dynamic. C string on my 15” viola is finally sounding gorgeous. I cannot express how different these were to standard Dominant strings. These dominant pro strings were made for my 19th century Saxon Viola.
Cons: The strings arrived in their individual envelopes but not in the posh box seen on the image. I was disappointed not to get the full fancy packaging.
