A Series in the Tradition of Great Strings Since 1956
Since 1956, this family of strings has established itself among double bassists seeking consistent manufacturing quality and a "professional" response. The "Dolce" series follows this tradition with an approach focused on musicality and endurance: a string designed to remain stable, maintain its tonal character, and withstand intensive use, especially in a Solo setup.
For Which Double Bassists and Styles?
This 4-string set is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians who want reliable performance in Solo tuning, whether in conservatories, orchestras, chamber music, or solo repertoire. The heavy gauge favors stability and precision, with a firmer feel under the left hand and clear articulation with the bow.
The Sound
The steel core provides a direct attack and excellent pitch definition while maintaining a warm sonic foundation. The winding made with fine pure metal or alloy wires contributes to controlled brightness, solid projection, and a homogeneous response across all four strings. The result: a clear and singing timbre, with a good power reserve, designed to last.
