D'AddarioKaplan Series Double Bass D String 3/4 Size Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Use this medium-gauge Kaplan D string when a 3/4-scale double bass needs that single string replaced. It is an individual string aimed at orchestral musicians, combining a varied tonal character with a bowing response built for control. Across low-to-high registers and changing dynamics, the design calls for a clear, warm voice and a balanced response, so it supports focused work on the D string without committing to a full replacement set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing only the D string on a 3/4-scale double bass.
- Orchestral bowing where warmth, clarity, and dynamic control matter.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Replacing all strings on a double bass at once.
- Double basses outside the stated 3/4 scale.
