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*In comparison to\nDP02\n[5.5 kg], the\nDP02B\n[6.1 kg, removable ball end] has a considerably smaller diameter. This means that\nDP02B\nresponds much faster than\nDP02\n. Due to the steel core, the string achieves pitch stability immediately after being strung and offers a very high level of resistance to bow pressure. In addition, the chrome winding makes it extremely corrosion-resistant and bestows the string with a particularly long lifespan. Should a player have problems with the lifespan of synthetic A-strings in general due to aggressive sweating,\nDP02B\nis the ideal solution.  It also reduces buzz tones (= small wolf tone).\nIt has a higher dynamic range (= can be played very quietly and very loudly) than\nDP02\n,  however, it also features a decreased tonal modulation capacity, which is a typical characteristic of a steel string. Both strings have a very good brilliance to warmth ratio. After a break-in period of around five hours,\nDP02B\nbecomes a touch more brilliant and open. This supports the brilliance of the E-string, but can also induce whistling in sensitive E-strings such as\nDP01AU\nor\nDP01PT\n. However,\nDP01\nis not influenced by this.\nIn general, steel core strings have a higher string tension; this must also be taken into consideration with\nDP02B\nso as to avoid potentially overburdening the instrument. When deciding on the\nDP02B\n, we recommend using a fine tuner, since even the smallest of changes when winding up a string can result in extreme changes in the frequency, similarly to a steel E-string.\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 Steel\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.
