D’Addario Helicore Orchestral Bass Strings 3/4 Medium

Description

Old strings dull everything — response, pitch clarity, that satisfying bloom when the bow catches the string just right. Swap in this Helicore Orchestral set and a 3/4 scale bass wakes back up, ready for another season of rehearsals, recitals, or whatever’s on the stand.

• Sized specifically for 3/4 scale bass, with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm)
• Medium tension — the sweet spot most players land on for feel and projection
• Stranded steel core keeps intonation stable while delivering a clear, warm voice instead of a harsh one
• Built and optimized with arco players in mind, so bow response stays even from frog to tip
• Designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in the USA under D’Addario’s strict quality standards

Helicore has been a staple among orchestral bassists for a reason: the stranded steel construction gives you the pitch stability of a steel string without sacrificing warmth, so pizzicato notes speak clearly and bowed passages sing rather than scratch. If your current set feels stiff, sounds thin, or just isn’t giving you the control it used to, this is the direct upgrade — no guesswork, no compromise on tone.

Grab a set, restring, and notice the difference the first time you draw the bow.
