Thomastik Ti 4/4 violin string set
Ti is Thomastik-Infeld's professional synthetic range with a clearly stated address: the maker writes that the TI100 set was created for professionals looking for long-lasting strings providing an open sound with a wide range of rich overtones. A, D and G sit on a synthetic core — aluminum wound on A and D, silver wound on G; the E is tin-plated carbon steel. Total tension is 22.7 kp (50.0 lb), a moderate load that keeps the instrument open and quick to answer. All four strings carry a brass ball. And let us clear up the usual misunderstanding at once: the name Ti does not mean titanium — the E here is tin-plated carbon steel.
🏆 SoundsGood — genuine Thomastik-Infeld strings only, made in Vienna.
The Service Life the Maker Lists First
Longevity is not a side effect here but the design brief: Thomastik describes TI100 as a set for professionals looking for long-lasting strings. If you play several hours a day, that shows up in the calendar rather than in the timbre — more time between changes, and no sound dying two weeks into a rehearsal period. Restringing stops being a monthly ritual and becomes something you plan.
An Open Sound at a Moderate 22.7 kp
The tension ladder is gentler than on soloist sets: 8.0 kp on the E, 5.5 kp on the A, 4.5 kp on the D and 4.7 kp on the G. Less load on the bridge means freer vibration of the body, and that is where the open sound with its wide range of overtones comes from. In playing terms it feels like an easy start to the note: you do not have to press the instrument into speaking at pianissimo.
Choose Your D: Aluminum in the Set, Silver Separately
The standard TI100 fits the aluminum D, TI03, at 4.5 kp — light, with a clear and agile tone. If you want a denser, darker third voice, the range officially offers an alternative: the silver D TI03A at 4.8 kp, sold on its own. It is the only customisation Ti provides for, and it lets you fine-tune the set to a particular instrument without changing range.

What's Included
The pack holds four strings — E TI01, A TI02, D TI03 and G TI04 — each in its own branded Thomastik-Infeld envelope marked with the article number. The silver D TI03A is not included; it is bought separately if that is the D you want.
Who It's For
A set for the orchestral player who works daily and counts string mileage, for the teacher-performer who needs a steady open sound in the studio and on stage, and for the owner of an instrument that likes to vibrate freely and dislikes an over-tight setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in the TI100 set?
Four 4/4 strings in medium gauge: a tin-plated carbon steel E, 8.0 kp (art. TI01), a synthetic-core aluminum-wound A, 5.5 kp (art. TI02), a synthetic-core aluminum-wound D, 4.5 kp (art. TI03), and a synthetic-core silver-wound G, 4.7 kp (art. TI04). All with a brass ball.
Does the name Ti mean a titanium E?
No. Thomastik's official table lists the E of this range (TI01) as carbon steel with tin plating, so there is no titanium in the set. A titanium E belongs to another Thomastik series, Vision Titanium, with its own article numbers.
Which D ships in the set — aluminum or silver?
The standard D of the TI100 set is the aluminum TI03 at 4.5 kp. The silver D TI03A (4.8 kp) exists but is not part of the set and is sold separately.
What end types do these strings have?
Ball end on all four strings, and Thomastik's official table gives the ball material for the whole Ti range as brass. Whether the E ball is removable is not specified by the maker — the table lists the material only.
What sizes and gauges does the Ti range cover?
4/4 size only, for a 32.5 cm vibrating length, and medium gauge only. The one choice in the range is the silver D TI03A in place of the standard aluminum TI03.
Are these genuine Thomastik strings?
Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine Thomastik-Infeld product in official packaging marked with article numbers.
