The World's Most
Popular String
Dominant strings by Thomastik-Infeld of Vienna are the most widely used orchestral strings in the world. Their synthetic core delivers the warm, complex tone of gut strings with the stability and durability of modern materials. The benchmark by which all other strings are measured — trusted by soloists, orchestral players, and students worldwide.
Warm & Versatile
Dominant's perlon (nylon) core produces a warm, brilliant tone with excellent bow response and projection. Unlike steel-core strings, Dominant strings have a natural complexity and overtone richness that closely emulates the sound of traditional gut.
Available in standard, Stark (heavy), and Weich (light) gauges, plus fractional sizes from 1/16 to 4/4 — ensuring every player finds their ideal tension and response.
Every String Instrument
Dominant strings cover the complete bowed string family: violin, viola, cello, and double bass. Individual strings and complete sets are available for every instrument in every size.
The bass line includes both orchestral and solo tuning options, while the viola range covers multiple body lengths from 14" to 16"+. Matched with Dominant rosin for the complete Thomastik-Infeld experience.
