Thomastik-Infeld was the world's first manufacturer to successfully produce a violin string with a synthetic core made of extra-fine nylon fibers. Thanks to this new technique, the classic Dominant strings were born 50 years ago, combining the qualities of the best steel strings with the virtues of traditional gut strings.
Since then, Thomastik Dominant strings have remained a standard in the industry to this day.
A new generation of strings
Thomastik-Infeld es una firma de reconocido prestigio en todo el mundo, y como tal, colabora a diario con una gran cantidad de músicos internacionales que durante los últimos años han solicitado a la marca un set de cuerdas de similares características a las clásicas Dominant, pero que expandiera sus posibilidades musicales y sonoras.
Thomastik responds to these requests with the new Dominant Pro strings. With these new strings, Thomastik does not intend to change the basic character of the classic Dominant strings but to propose an additional and contemporary repertoire of strings, offering a broader range of possibilities for today's musician.
