In 2021, Thomastik-Infeld in Vienna presented a new generation of strings, namely DOMINANT PRO . The Dominant PRO strings are a logical continuation and refinement of the well-known Dominant strings and are ideally suited for chamber musicians, soloists and orchestral musicians. In 2022 these will now also be available for cello.
The main features, according to Thomastik, are:
- Powerful tonal character
- High resistance to bow pressure
- Exceptionally powerful, good balance between brilliant and warm sound
- High level of dynamics suitable for solo playing
- Easy approachability
- Permanent support of the appearance of the instrument
- A wall-to-wall range of sound colours
The following strings comprise the Dominant Pro (ball-end) range:
- A string DP41 with carbon steel core and chrome winding
- D string DP42 with carbon steel church and chrome winding
- G string DP43 with braided steel core with nickel-alloy winding
- C string DP44 with braided steel core with tungsten/nickel-alloy winding

Also available is a comparison tool to understand the differences of all DOMINANT PRO strings
, as well as the differences and similarities of DOMINANT and DOMINANT PRO. All well and good, but the best thing to do is just try it yourself on your own instrument!
