With\nDominant Pro\n, we are not aiming to change the basic character of\nDominant\n, but rather to offer an additional, contemporary repertoire of\nthe biggest advantages of Dominant Pro and Dominant\nstrings.\nWhat do\nDominant Pro\nand\nDominant\nhave in common?\nBoth 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 colour, very good tuning stability, and a very good bow response.\n*The plain\nDOMINANT PRO\nE-string\nDP01\n[diameter 0.265 mm, 8.0 kg, removable ball end] with a core of carbon steel is tin-plated. 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. However, the corrosion resistance is lower than that of plain stainless steel strings (\n129\n) as well as the stainless steel strings with gold and platinum plating (e.g.:\nDP01AU\n,\nDP01PT\n).\nThe 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. For musicians who prefer a high resistance to bow pressure, strings have to be extremely resilient. To ensure this, manufacturers often set store by a high string tension, among other things. As a general rule: the greater the diameter of a plain, unwound steel string, the higher the string tension. However, from a diameter of 0.273 mm onward, the string tension is usually so high that the strings can put excessive strain on the instrument, resulting in a loss of sound color.\nThanks to a specially developed wire treatment, however, we have succeeded in creating E-strings like the\nDOMINANT PRO\nDP01\n, which offers a high level of resistance to bow pressure already at 0.265 mm with no loss of color 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.\nAvailable Sizes | Gauges\n4\/4 | medium\nClick\nhere to download the Thomastik guide \/ glossary of terms\nViolin 4\/4\nvibrating string length\n32.5cm | 12.8\"\nMEDIUM\nNR.\nCore Material\nOuter Material\nTailpiece End\nkg\nlb\nPeg End\nDTDP01\ne\n²\nmi\n²\nI\nCarbon Steel\nTin Plated\n8.0\n17.6\nDTDP01AU\ne\n²\nmi\n²\nI\nStainless Steel\nGold Plated\n8.0\n17.6\nDTDP01PT\ne\n²\nmi\n²\nI\nStainless Steel\nPlatinum Plated\n8.2\n18.1\nDTDP01SN\ne\n²\nmi\n²\nI\nCarbon Steel\nTin Plated\n7.9\n17.4\nDTDP02\na\n¹\nla\n¹\nII\nSynthetic Core\nAluminum Wound\n5.5\n12.1\nDTDP02B\na\n¹\nla\n¹\nII\nCarbon Core\nChrome Wound\n6.1\n13.4\nDTDP03\nd\n¹\nre\n¹\nIII\nSynthetic Core\nAluminium Wound\n4.6\n10.1\nDTDP03A\nd\n¹\nre\n¹\nIII\nSynthetic Core\nSilver Wound\n4.5\n9.9\nDTDP04\ng\nsol\nIV\nSynthetic Core\nSilver Wound\n4.6\n10.1\nSET NR.
