Helicore: a series designed for versatility

The D'Addario Helicore strings embody a "hybrid" approach: a design focused on balance, capable of transitioning from orchestral playing to more modern contexts. The core manufacturing, carried out with a specific process, aims to provide immediate playability and stability suited to the daily needs of double bassists.

For whom and for which styles?

This set is intended for beginner to advanced double bassists seeking a light gauge and a responsive string, comfortable for working on intonation and articulations. Its balanced behavior suits many styles: symphonic, jazz, bluegrass, as well as situations where pizzicato and bowing alternate within the same set.

Sound characteristics

Thanks to its multi-filament steel core, this set delivers a warm and clear tone, with a clear attack and good note sustain. The Light gauge promotes quick vibration initiation : the bow grips more easily and the pizzicato maintains a musical sustain without sacrificing precision.
