Carbon steel – Tin plated
Vibrating string length: 32,5cm | 12,8“
The plain DOMINANT PRO E-string DP01 with a core of carbon steel is tin-plated. A protective layer of nickel is placed between the outer coating of tin and the steel core in order to increase the corrosion resistance compared with conventional tin-plated strings. However, the corrosion resistance is lower than that of plain stainless steel strings.
The string has a very good response, barely whistles, and is well-balanced in its brilliance and warmth. It supports the equilibrium with the A-string and promotes its capacity to carry sound. For musicians who prefer a high resistance to bow pressure, strings have to be extremely resilient. To ensure this, manufacturers often set store by a high string tension, among other things. Thanks to a specially developed wire treatment, the DOMINANT PRO DP01 offers a high level of resistance to bow pressure already at 0.265 mm with no loss of colour or strain on the instrument.
This wire treatment makes the sound soft enough that it does not have a screeching effect, and brilliant enough that it offers sufficient radiance, projection and resistance to bow pressure.
As a result, the string sounds broad and brilliant even without applying much pressure.
