Thank you Cristian, this review is very thorough and informative. I am a cellist and your video helped me understand these 3 Thomastik violin sets so much better. Great job and keep up the beautiful music!

The Peter Infeld strings were QUITE piercing [in the recording] in the high register around the 2:10 mark (and yes, it could be a sensitive microphone situation). The Rondo strings were a little more mellow overall but still had a bright and piercing E string! At 8:52- the Dominant Pros had SUCH an open/bellow-y/ringing sound without hurting my ears though the speakers. The E string in the Dominant Pro set seems to be "calm " in a sense. If you played a piece such as Ave Maria [Schubert] on just the E string then it would possibly be the most pleasant out of all the sets of strings used. In my opinion. I've just ordered a gold-plated E-string (Dominant Pro) and I hope it will have a little bit of a softer sound, as my violin "favours" the E string the most with any set. I haven't ordered any other Dominant Pro string alternatives (and yes, there are many, like Aluminium-wound D strings or Platinum E's and such) but I hope to play on all of them.
I also play on a Guarneri del Gesu copy violin. I play in a baroque orchestra at my university and I love the Rondo on my violin, I definitely want to try the dominant pro, I liked how they sound on your violin
08:10 It's the opposite. Very high tension strings feel like they disappear under the fingers. Rondos are very high tension, higher then Evah Pirazzi greens! Dominant Pros are the lower tension ones on this video, they're about the same tension as Obligato.
1. Bright 2. Thin 3. Shrill 😬 lovely violinist though... he'd sound great on anything. Dominant Pro was my favorite of these three.... although I prefer Larsen. different strokes for different folks....
The Rondos sound much more balanced across the set, to my ear, than the PIs. Maybe not as much instant power as the PI's but not bad. I think the Rondos have a lovely sound.
Durability has to do with usage and believe it or not… the PH of ones sweat. There are string players that burn the windings of strings in weeks due to highly corrosive sweat.

Cristian, thank you for creating such a great review. It was a pleasure meeting you at NAMM! :)
Great meeting you at NAMM! Thanks for your comment and for the awesome photos you took. I used one in the review.

Thanks for you comment!
I enjoy your videos! My daughter uses PI's on the Romanian violin she bought from your friend Nica. Soft on the fingers and a big, complex sound.
Great, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video. It's really helpful and interesting. What violin did you use? Sounds gorgeous!
Hi and thanks for your comment. It’s a bench copy of the 1735 Plowden Del Gesu by Jordan Hess
if you can compare the Evah Pirazzi and Dominant Pro. since both of this string set are design for power.
08:10 It's the opposite. Very high tension strings feel like they disappear under the fingers. Rondos are very high tension, higher then Evah Pirazzi greens! Dominant Pros are the lower tension ones on this video, they're about the same tension as Obligato.
Hai sophie's daddy and two other miss your video with your 3 angles they 3 are gold all hope you family always with GOD🙏
1. Bright

😬
lovely violinist though... he'd sound great on anything. Dominant Pro was my favorite of these three.... although I prefer Larsen. different strokes for different folks....
What kind of E string do you use in this video?
Westminster
@@CristianFatumedium? 0.26 or heavy 0.27.5
@@josephlajho9373 0.27
what shoulder rest do you use?
I own close to 10 shoulder rests… that being said I like the Pirastro KorfkerRest the most
Ah super j’adore 😊
Personally, I prefer dark and warm sound. So, I pick Dominant Pro.
Are you using AU version on E string?
for this clip I was using the PI E I believe...
Felicitari !
Super 👏👏👏👏👍🤗😇😘🍀🍀👏👍
The Rondos sound much more balanced across the set, to my ear, than the PIs. Maybe not as much instant power as the PI's but not bad. I think the Rondos have a lovely sound.
That’s not the rondo e string…
The bad thing about thomastik strings is very bad durability.
Durability has to do with usage and believe it or not… the PH of ones sweat. There are string players that burn the windings of strings in weeks due to highly corrosive sweat.
