Kaplan: A Series Designed for Orchestral Demands
The Kaplan double bass strings are aimed at orchestral musicians seeking a coherent, balanced, and reliable set. They are engineered to offer a rich tonal palette and excellent bow response while remaining versatile in various playing contexts.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced double bassists and demanding orchestral players. The Medium tension suits most players, providing a good compromise between left-hand ease, bow precision, and pizzicato sustain.
Sound Characteristics
Thanks to its multi-strand steel core, this set delivers a clear attack, stable intonation, and quick bow response. The sound combines clarity and warmth across the entire register, with a balanced playing feel between the strings. The titanium winding on the G string promotes precise articulation and beautiful definition in the upper register.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of these strings, a chromatic tuner (for precise tuning) and a rosin suited to your bow are useful daily accessories.
