Meet your new favorite viola string…the Dominant Pro Viola String Set. They are darker, more focused, and respond more directly than Dominant strings. Despite the direct response, the strings offer the possibility for a broad range of color sounds. The string tensions have been increased by an incremental amount to adapt the resistance to bow pressure to suit extended playing requirements without overburdening the instrument. When required, Dominant Pro asserts itself very well against the sound of an entire orchestra. In comparison to Dominant, the projection in a hall has also been reinforced. Nonetheless, with corresponding dynamics and a capacity for modulation, Dominant Pro also offers optimum possibilities when used in chamber music.

After only 2-3 hours of playing time, a newly strung set will have reached its full performance capability in terms of sound and can look forward to a long life from then on.

Features:

• Exceptionally powerful
• A sound like chili chocolate – dark and warm with overlays of slight sharpness
• Broad range of sound colors
• Supports the radiance of the instrument in the long term
• Reacts immediately with a focused sound core
• A sound that fills the room
• Smooth timbre transition between the individual strings
• High resistance to bow pressure
• Suitable for soloists, orchestra players, and chamber musicians
• Very high level of dynamics (can be played very quietly and very loudly)

Included in the set:

• DP21 - Due to the very good balance with the D-string, the DOMINANT PRO® NO.DP21 does not stand out from the set, but blends harmoniously into the overall sound picture. It also has a very minimal nasal component, is easy to play and provides long-lasting pleasure with its extended tonal lifespan.
• DP22 - The D-string’s job is to create a homogeneous sound with the A-string and a harmonious bridge to the G-string. The NO.DP22 succeeds at this with its easy response, pronounced brilliance and assertiveness, as well as the dark basic timbre with mezzo-soprano components typical for the viola.
• DP23 - Thanks to the resonant, full-bodied sound foundation with an airy, light overtone range and direct response, the G-string NO.DP23 is a harmonious and strong partner to the D-string, but also creates the ideal bridge to the C-string, which completes the set with its strong sound foundation and slightly metallic component. The G-string acts as a mediator between the strings and creates a smooth transition that ideally combines the special timbres of the individual strings.
• DP24 - The C-string NO.DP24 is responsible for the bass part of the set. Even at such a low pitch, it convinces with a large sound volume and the fastest response. Its slightly metallic overtones provide perfect projection.
