D'AddarioHelicore Orchestral Series Double Bass E String 1/2 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This Helicore Orchestral E string is made for a 1/2-size double bass. Its multi-stranded steel core is designed for easy left-hand playing and supports warm tone with excellent bow response. The damping focus is arco, making it suited to bowed orchestral lines. It can also be used pizzicato when a warm note with reduced sustain is the intended result.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the E string on a 1/2-size double bass for arco-oriented playing.
- Pizzicato parts seeking warm notes with less sustain.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a complete set rather than a single E string.
- Double basses other than 1/2 size.
