what is the difference between 135B Violin String and 135 Violin String?

Question

I need to buy a string and my instructor has recommended me to buy a dominant string. I noticed there are at least two types,

Thomastik Dominant 135B Violin String Set 4/4 Size  
Thomastik Dominant 135 Violin String Set 4/4 Size

what is the difference?

Tim Burnett - Bassist · Answer

The difference between the two is in the composition of the ball-end of the E-string:

Thomastik Dominant violin strings are available with aluminum wound
ball end E strings (set 135), with chrome steel ball end E strings
(set 135B), and with chrome steel loop end E strings (set 135BMS)
