D'AddarioHelicore Orchestral Series Double Bass G String 1/8 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This is a single 1/8-size Helicore Orchestral G string for replacing one string without moving to a complete set. Its multi-stranded steel core is designed for comfortable left-hand work, and its damped design emphasizes arco playing with responsive bow use. When a passage is plucked instead, it is also suited to a warmer, less-sustaining result.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the G string on a 1/8-size double bass used for arco playing.
- Pizzicato passages where a shorter sustain is desirable.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a more sustained pizzicato response.
