D'AddarioHelicore Orchestral Series Double Bass String Set 3/4 Size Light
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 3/4-size double bass, this light-gauge Helicore Orchestral set pairs multi-stranded steel cores with warm tone and excellent bow response. The core design is intended to make the strings easy under the left hand. Damping is optimized for arco, so the set is centered on bowed orchestral use; it also serves pizzicato parts that benefit from warmth and less sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bowed orchestral work on a 3/4-size double bass.
- Pizzicato playing that calls for warmth without extended sustain.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a gauge other than light.
- Double basses other than 3/4 size.
