D'Addario Helicore 'Orchestral' Double Bass strings SET

3/4 size - This is standard size for adults, confusing yes!  99% of double basses are 3/4 size and it has become the normal standard.  If you're not sure what size your bass is, then you've most likely got a 3/4.  4/4 size basses are EXTREMELY rare!

Helicore double bass strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, giving them great playability and a clear, warm tone. The smaller string diameter provides quick bow response while the quality of materials and workmanship craft a string with excellent pitch stability and longevity.

D'Addario Helicore Double Bass Strings are justifiably popular; they offer a warm, rich sound that's remarkably similar to gut or synthetic core strings. Unlike gut, however, their all-metal construction renders them impervious to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. D'Addario Helicore Double Bass Strings have a multi-strand high-carbon steel core that produces flexible response and range. The core is overlaid with exotic alloy windings that provide extremely quick bow response and outstanding projection. The end result is a versatile string with very long playing life that is extremely stable under all playing conditions.

Helicore Hybrid bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a moderately warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The groundbreaking core design produces strings that are very easy to play. Damping is optimized for arco use, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired.
