Belcanto Double Bass Orchestra Strings

Instrument Double Bass Orchestra ¾ – 104–106 cm | 41–41.7” | Usable scale up to 110 cm | 43.3”

Belcanto Bass is an arco double bass string with a unique steel rope core design. It has a dark and warm tone with excellent resonance and a wide range of tone colours. It offers quick bow response for Classic and a natural pizzicato sound for Jazz.

The Belcanto set with its specially twisted steel rope core settles in quickly and intonates extremely well. The tone is dark and warm with excellent reso-nance and a wide range of tone colors. It offers great projection with moderate effort.
