Based in Vienna, Thomastik-Infeld has been producing strings since 1919. Their most recognized string, Dominants, have been a favouite among students, teachers and professionals for well over 50 years. Widely regarded as “the reference standard” Dominant strings, made with a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core, provide the tonal warmth and feel of a gut string while being impervious to changes in humidity. The sound is soft, clear with a stable intonation and they are rich in overtones.
