Description
The Dominant Pro Violin D string is available with Silver or Aluminium winding.
Silver winding: With the help of a novel silver alloy, Thomastik were able to combine the advantages of a silver string with those of an aluminium string while also eliminating their drawbacks. Thus, the DOMINANT PRO® Silver D-string offers a very refined bow noise, brilliance and pronounced sound colour with a good deal of modulation capacity. This combination guarantees an ideal ability to sustain sound and projection in halls.
Unlike conventional silver D-strings, it has a more direct bow response and does a better job of suppressing wolf tones in combination with the new G-string. The diameter is somewhat smaller than that of a synthetic A-string. This makes the string pleasant to play and means that it feels at once both supple and resilient beneath the left and right hand.
Aluminium winding: For musicians who prefer a larger D-string diameter, the aluminium-wound NO.DP03 offers an alternative to the smaller NO.DP03A. The diameter lies between that of the DOMINANT PRO® A- and G-string. The sound characteristics are similar to the silver-wound NO.DP03A; however, the bow noise is coarser, the response more direct, and brilliance and projection capacity are increased. The decision swings somewhat more in favour of NO.DP03 if the feel of a thicker string is preferred.
Available here as a single string or as part of the set here.
