String Set Thomastik Dynamo 4/4 for Violin
Dynamo is the newest flagship synthetic range from Thomastik-Infeld, and the maker describes it through things that normally do not go together: the DY100 set combines qualities you usually cannot find in one set — a broad sound AND an excellent response, full modulation of sound colours, and results on most old AND most new instruments. A, D and G sit on a synthetic core: aluminum wound on the A, silver wound on D and G; the E is carbon steel with multilayer tin plating. Total tension is 23.0 kp (50.7 lb). The audience is stated outright — orchestra players, chamber musicians and soloists — and for the last of those there is a separate solo version of the set.
🏆 SoundsGood — genuine Thomastik-Infeld strings only, made in Vienna.
Broad Sound and Response, Together Rather Than Instead
Normally you choose: either a set gives you volume and a wide sound picture, or it answers the bow fast. Thomastik claims both at once for Dynamo, and it shows most clearly in dynamic transitions — at mezzo-forte the sound is already broad, yet the note still starts immediately, with no run-up. The maker adds full modulation of colour to that: the set lets you change timbre with the bow, not just loudness.
An E With Multilayer Plating and an Aluminum Ball
The standard E, DY01, is its own development: carbon steel with multilayer tin plating, 8.1 kp, and a removable aluminum ball. The maker describes it as darker in tone and suited to both orchestral and solo playing — meaning the top of the set does not cut, but stays in the same sonic family as the silver D and G. For the player that means the first string never jumps out of the ensemble of voices.
Two Builds From One Range: DY100 and Dynamo Solo
Alongside the all-round DY100 (23.0 kp) there is the solo version DY100S at 23.1 kp: a different E — the brighter, more soloistic DY01S with a removable brass ball — and a different G, DY04B, which the maker calls richer in colour and broader in sound but more challenging to play. The A and D are the same in both. The swaps are officially provided for, so you can build the set to taste without leaving the range.

What's Included
The pack holds four strings — E DY01, A DY02, silver D DY03A and G DY04 — each in its own branded Thomastik-Infeld envelope marked with the article number. This is the all-round build of the range; the solo variants (DY01S, DY04B) are bought separately.
Who It's For
A set for the orchestral player who needs volume without shouting, for the chamber musician who works in colours rather than dynamics alone, and for the soloist looking for a modern synthetic to match a particular instrument, old or new.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in the DY100 set?
Four 4/4 strings in medium gauge: a carbon steel E with multilayer tin plating and a removable aluminum ball, 8.1 kp (art. DY01), a synthetic-core aluminum-wound A, 5.5 kp (art. DY02), a silver-wound D, 4.7 kp (art. DY03A), and a silver-wound G, 4.7 kp (art. DY04).
How does DY100 differ from Dynamo Solo DY100S?
By two strings. The solo set carries the E DY01S — brighter, more soloistic, with a removable brass ball — and the G DY04B, which the maker describes as richer in colour and broader in sound but more challenging to play. DY100S totals 23.1 kp against 23.0 kp for DY100; the A (DY02) and silver D (DY03A) are identical in both.
Can strings from the two sets be mixed?
Yes — this is the customisation the range officially provides for: the E DY01 swaps to DY01S, the G DY04 to DY04B, and the silver D DY03A can be replaced by the aluminum DY03 (4.6 kp). The maker notes that break-in time is the same for DY100 and DY100S, so mixing does not upset how the set settles.
Is Dynamo available in fractional sizes?
Yes, the set is also made in 3/4 (21.9 kp total) and 1/2 (20.2 kp). Note that the 1/2 set carries the aluminum D DY03 1/2 rather than the silver DY03A used on 4/4 and 3/4.
What end types do Dynamo strings have?
An aluminum ball on every string of the DY100 set, and on the E (DY01) that ball is removable. In the solo set the E DY01S has a brass ball, also removable.
Are these genuine Thomastik strings?
Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine Thomastik-Infeld product in official packaging marked with article numbers.
