A Helicore Variant Designed for Pizzicato

Within the Helicore range, the Helicore Pizzicato version stands out with a multi-filament core designed to offer a brighter register than other Helicore strings, while maintaining an easy playing feel. The goal is clear: to maximize the energy transmitted to the top for a more present and longer-lasting pizzicato.

For Whom and Which Styles?

These strings are aimed at beginner to advanced double bassists seeking versatile tension and good projection. They are particularly suited for pizzicato-oriented playing styles: jazz, swing, blues, contemporary music, and accompaniment playing where sustain and attack need to remain clear.

Sound Characteristics

The multi-strand steel core provides a quick response, a warm and clear tone, and increased brightness. Reduced damping promotes generous sustain and a sense of power under the fingers, ideal for holding notes in pizzicato.
