D'AddarioHelicore Orchestral Series Double Bass Low B String 3/4 Size Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for the low B position on a 3/4-size double bass, this medium-gauge Helicore Orchestral string uses a multi-stranded steel core. It combines a warm character with responsive bowing and is designed to feel easy under the left hand. Its damping is geared toward arco work. For pizzicato, it suits players seeking warmth with less sustain rather than a more lingering note.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Arco-focused orchestral parts on a 3/4-size double bass.
- Pizzicato passages that call for a warm, less-sustaining response.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a complete set rather than one 3/4-size low B string.
- Double basses other than 3/4 size.
