Reference price

A design engineered to combine flexibility and note stability

Thanks to its multi-strand spiral core structure, this string aims for an effective balance between finger flexibility and vibration stability. The tungsten winding on the G string helps maintain precision and presence, even when seeking a reactive and enjoyable string to play.

For which musicians and styles?

This string is intended for beginner to advanced double bassists who want a G string capable of transitioning from pizzicato playing (jazz, contemporary music) to bowed playing (orchestra, classical) without changing their setup. The available tension options allow you to adapt the feel to your technique and instrument.

Sound characteristics

The tungsten winding promotes a clear attack, good clarity, and increased projection, while maintaining a sense of flexibility thanks to the flexible core. The low inertia helps achieve a livelier response: a more distinct bow attack, easier articulation, and prolonged sustain in pizzicato.

Recommended compatible accessories

No specific accessories are required for installation: simply have the usual tools and consumables for your double bass maintenance ready (tuning, setup, and checking of the nut/saddle).

Questions frequently asked

Three tensions are indicated: light at 13.0 kg, medium at 14.0 kg, and heavy at 14.5 kg.

What is the effect of the tungsten winding on the G string?

The tungsten winding promotes a clear attack and increased projection. It also helps maintain note clarity.

Can it be used for both pizzicato and arco?

Thanks to its flexible multi-strand spiral core, this string is designed for both techniques. Its low inertia supports a crisp bow attack and prolonged sustain in pizzicato.
