Thomastik-Infeld's Dominant Pro is a new and improved version of the original classic. Designed with the modern professional in mind, they provide an expanded range of color and brilliance, while enhancing the warmth and radiance of the original Dominant strings. Whether they are played loudly or quietly, the immediate reaction and balance of tonal qualities can be heard right away. After a short break in time, hints of a rounder, fuller sound begin to emerge. 

What's the Difference?

The Silver D offers a more refined bow noise, brilliance, and pronounced sound color with excellent modulation capacity. Compared to conventional Silver D strings, this novel silver alloy is more responsive to the bow and does an excellent job of suppressing wolf tones.

The Aluminum D is the preferred choice if your instrument requires more brilliance and projection capacity. Aluminum wound strings are even more responsive to the bow compared to Silver. This Aluminum wound D has a larger diameter than the Silver D, which may be preferable for some players.
