   D'Addario Prelude Bass Strings (D'Addario)
D'Addario Prelude Bass Strings
Description: Features:

Noticing a need for an easily playable, yet economical, bass string set for students, D'Addario has introduced bass strings to their popular Prelude line of bowed strings. Crafted with a special stranded steel core designed to provide optimum playability and the ideal tension for developing bassists, stainless steel wound Prelude bass strings have a quick, easy bow response and a clear, warm tone that is even from string to string and blends well with the rest of the orchestra. "There is clearly a lack of bass strings on the market that really work well for students, and we set out to remedy that," says D'Addario Bowed Strings Manager David Luce. "One of the nice things about D'Addario strings is that the fractional sizes aren't just full-size strings cut down. Each fractional set has been specifically designed, from the ground up, for that smaller scale, keeping the string tension appropriate for that smaller size. Plus, the Prelude strings are more pliable than solid core bass strings due to their special core, making them much easier for young hands to play."

   Dominant Violin Set 3/4 with Wound E Ballend (Thomastik)
Dominant Violin Set 3/4 with Wound E Ballend
Description: Features:

Dominant Violin Strings were the original synthetic core and still one of the most popular strings we sell, and for good reason. These strings will make almost any Violin sound better then steel core strings. When first installed, they sound a bit metallic and tend to stretch, but after a day or two they settle in nicely. Never install the day of a performance! They have a soft feel under the left hand and respond nicely. If you play/practice one or more hours a day I would recommend replacing every six months, the loss brilliance is gradual so you don’t realize it until you compare it to a new set. I would recommend replacing the “E" String with a Pirastro Gold Label #3151. I install Dominants strings on all of our professional Violins. They ore not the perfect string for every Violin but they are, in my opinion, the best starting point. If you would like to share your thoughts about Strings Please Email me.

   Infeld Blue Violin Set (Thomastik)
Infeld Blue Violin Set
Description: Features:

Infeld Red & Blue Each string in these new sets has a different scheme of production. Many violinists have resorted to using a mix of brands and tensions in order to find the best performance for their instrument. With Infeld strings, this may no longer be necessary. The Blue set is more brilliant, and the Red set is Warmer in tone. Full size only. Suitable for old and new instruments. Relatively insensitive to excess humidity. Strings settle in quickly, stabilising early on in the string's life for concert use. Low overall tension on the instrument produces an open, transparent sound. Very responsive to different playing techniques, lending itself to various interpretative approaches. Large and full sound, making the string sets suitable for soloists and chamber music players. Good purity of open fifths, even when strings are older. Excellent response in all positions. The set emphasises the innate tonal characteristics of each violin, making instrument adjustment easier. Note: The ball on the E string is removable to convert it to a loop if you want to use this string with a loop-type string adjuster.
