Thomastik-Infeld Dominant Pro Violin Single E String

A New Generation of Strings

The plain DOMINANT PRO E-string is tin-plated with a core of carbon steel. A protective layer of nickel is placed between the outer coating of tin and the steel core in order to increase the corrosion resistance compared with conventional tin-plated strings.

The string has a very good response, barely whistles, and is well-balanced in its brilliance and warmth. It supports the equilibrium with the A-string and promotes its capacity to carry sound.

Thanks to a specially developed wire treatment, the DOMINANT PRO E-string (DP01) offers a high level of resistance to bow pressure already at 0.265 mm with no loss of colour or strain on the instrument. This wire treatment makes the sound soft enough that it does not have a screeching effect, and brilliant enough that it offers sufficient radiance, projection and resistance to bow pressure. As a result, the string sounds broad and brilliant even without applying much pressure.

Ideally suited for orchestra players, chamber musicians and soloists.
