Description
Helicore Orchestral strings from D’Addario are engineered specifically for double bass players who need consistent, dependable performance under the bow. This set is scaled for 3/4 size basses with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), and set at medium tension — the go-to choice for the majority of players seeking balanced feel and response without excessive stiffness or slack.
At the heart of each string is a stranded steel core, chosen for its stability and flexibility. This construction gives players precise pitch control and fast bow response, while still producing the warm, rounded tone that orchestral and classical bassists rely on. The strings are optimized for arco playing, making them well suited to bowed passages where clarity and sustain matter most.
D’Addario designs, engineers, and manufactures every Helicore string in the USA, holding each set to strict quality control standards throughout production. The result is a string that performs consistently set after set, night after night.
