ThomastikBelcanto 3/4 Size Double Bass Strings 3/4 Size Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Full string set for 3/4 double bass, Thomastik's Belcanto line. For upright players restringing a full-size (3/4) bass at a serious price point.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing a 3/4 upright when the current set is dead
- Arco-focused players wanting a bowed-orchestral set
- Bassists replacing all four at once for even response
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass guitar players — this is for upright, not electric
- Anyone on a 1/2 or 1/4 size bass
- Players needing just one replacement string
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Complete set
All four strings, so response and tension match across the instrument. No mismatched string to fight.
Detail 03
Belcanto line
Thomastik's bowing-oriented double bass range, distinct from their pizzicato-first sets.
Detail 04
Double bass, not bass guitar
Upright strings are far longer and under different tension. They will not fit an electric bass.
Detail 05
Price point
Upright sets cost several times what electric bass strings do, and last far longer in return.
Final check

- 01Confirm 3/4 is your bass size — it's the common adult size, not a small one

- 03No tools, rosin, or setup work included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my bass guitar?
No. These are double bass (upright) strings. They're much longer and won't fit an electric or acoustic bass guitar.
02Is 3/4 a small bass?
No. 3/4 is the standard full-size adult double bass. Smaller instruments are 1/2 and 1/4.
03Can I change all four at once?
Better not to. Removing all the tension at once can drop the soundpost. Replace one string at a time.
04Are these better for bowing or pizzicato?
Belcanto is Thomastik's bowing-oriented double bass line, so it suits arco-heavy playing.
