At that time, gut strings (strings made from sheep's intestines) were the most popular, but they had problems such as being easy to break and making it difficult to maintain stable tuning. Franz Thomastik and others tried to develop and manufacture strings made of metal instead of gut strings. It was quickly discovered that steel wire has a longer lifespan, less distortion in sound, and is resistant to changes in climate. After years of research, in 1926 a line of superior steel wire strings was developed for all stringed instruments, from violin to double bass. The company continued its research and completed synthetic core strings (nylon strings that use synthetic fiber as the core material). This is the birth of the world's most famous Dominant series. You can get a soft tone like a gut string, and it has a long life and is reasonably priced. Tuning is steel strings It has become even more stable. This is how Thomastic-Infeld strings, loved by musicians around the world, were born. ■Things to keep in mind when purchasing and replacing strings The Thomastique Violin String Dominant E string has two types of end shapes that can be attached to the adjuster, but the E string 129 included in this set is a model that can be used both as a ball end (the type with a round metal fitting on the end) and a loop end (the type with a round ring). The size is 1/4, the shape of the string is medium, and the thickness is commonly used. Although you are not limited to using only dominant strings, be sure to use a string length that matches the size of your instrument.
