Kaplan: a reference designed for orchestral demands

The D'Addario Kaplan double bass strings are aimed at musicians seeking a refined, balanced, and reliable performance, especially in an orchestral context. This series emphasizes a high-level bow response and a carefully crafted tone color, meeting the expectations of bassists who want a clear, nuanced, and stable sound both in rehearsal and in concert. Made in the USA, they benefit from rigorous quality control, ensuring consistency from one set to another.

Intended use and player

This Kaplan 3/4 set in Light tension is particularly suited for orchestral double bass players (intermediate to advanced) who prioritize flexibility and ease of vibration, especially with the bow. The Light tension helps achieve more immediate articulation while maintaining clean note sustain and good projection. It is also a relevant choice if you seek a less "stiff" feel under the left hand or if your instrument responds better with moderate tension.

Tone

With their multi-strand steel core, the Kaplan strings aim for a clear response and appreciable stability while preserving a harmonic richness designed for orchestral playing. The result is a successful balance between clarity and warmth across the entire spectrum, with a sense of homogeneity between the strings. In Light tension, the string "speaks" more easily: the bow naturally grips, dynamics emerge more quickly, and playing remains fluid during string crossings.
