Founded in 1919 by Dr. Franz Thomastik, a violin maker, and Otto Infeld, an engineer, Thomastik-Infeld emerged in Vienna, Austria, with one goal: to revolutionize string making through science and craftsmanship. At a time when gut strings were still dominant, the duo introduced the use of steel cores, delivering unmatched stability and durability. Their innovation transformed the sound of bowed instruments in orchestras and studios around the world.
To this day, Thomastik maintains its production in Vienna, where every string is individually hand-inspected and crafted using a blend of traditional methods and cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s the warm tones of Dominant, Thomastik strings are known for precision, clarity, and consistency that professionals rely on across all genres.
Thomastik-Infeld Blue violin strings are designed for players who seek a clear, brilliant tone with enhanced projection and focused power. Built with a synthetic core, these strings deliver a modern sound that is both expressive and stable—ideal for soloists and ensemble players who want their instrument to cut through with clarity.
As part of the Infeld Red & Blue series, the Blue set emphasizes a brighter, more energetic sound compared to the darker, warmer Red counterpart. The strings are easy to play, offer fast response under the bow, and maintain excellent tuning stability even in varying humidity or temperature.
Infeld Blue and Red strings are fully interchangeable, allowing musicians to tailor their sound by mixing the brilliance of Blue with the warmth of Red.
