Thomastik Belcanto Orchestra for Double Bass

SOUND.
Belcanto is the number one choice for Orchestra players. They allow a multitude of possibilities to blend in while offering the focus and projection bass players need to stand out.

You will love their smooth, dark and warm sound, beautiful clarity as well as excellent resonance. They impress with a vast spectrum of tone colours, a precise and powerful intonation and abundant modulation in all ranges.

STABILITY.
Because of their unique steel rope core design, they settle in very quickly and convince with extreme tuning stability.

RESPONSE.
These strings offer quick bow response for the classical music repertoire but also natural pizzicato for Jazz. The left hand feel is gentle and engaging, and they feel soft under your fingers.

PROJECTION.
With only moderate effort, they give you outstanding projection.

PROUDLY PLAYED BY:
Francho Petracchi, Ödön Racz, Petru Iuga, Edicson Ruiz, Julius Darvas and many more.
