Why Thomastik-Infeld DYNAMO® violin strings make you perform like you never have before

The DYNAMO® set NO.DY100 combines qualities you usually can’t find in one set. We have developed this set of DYNAMO® violin strings with lots of passion and patience. And the outcome is something that is even better than we dreamed of. 

In addition to our set for violin (NO.DY100), alternative violin strings are now also available – so you can tweak your sound a bit if you need to.
Also available: DYNAMO® violin strings in two fractional size sets for ½ and ¾.

4/4: NO. DY01 | included in set NO. DY100

Suitable for orchestra and solo performances, a bit darker in sound than the alternative string NO. DY01S.

Tension measurements based on a vibrating string length of 32.5 cm | 12.8’’

Technical Details

4/4: NO. DY01S | alternative string

Very soloistic string, more brilliant and brighter than the E-string (NO. DY01) included in the set. Especially recommended for violins with a very low action on the E-string – they can benefit from the powerful sound of NO.DY01S E-string.

Technical Details

4/4: NO. DY03 | alternative string

This aluminum D-string is recommended especially when you have trouble with a wolf tone on the G-string, or if you need to improve your instrument’s response. It is also good if you prefer less brilliance or a larger diameter than that of our silver D-string (NO.DY03A) included in the set. You should also try this aluminum D-string if you like a bow sound that is more coarse-grained than the sound of our silver D-string.

4/4: NO. DY04B | alternative string

Even more sound colors and also a broader sound than the G-string (NO. DY04) included in the set. However, it is also a bit more challenging to play. Recommended for very direct-sounding violins that need a lot of sound colors.
