Promotion: Customise your set-up with different tensions and sizes Many of the strings in the Spirocore range are available in different tensions. You can choose the best strings for your instrument and playing style with this choice. For double bass lighter strings tend to be less tiring to play and are therefore better for longer periods of playing. Lighter strings also often have a longer sustain when plucked making them better for some jazz musicians. Heavier strings tend to be the loudest strings however they are also the hardest to play as they require more physical strength and effort. Medium is in between and is often recommended to start with if youre unsure of what will work better for you. Spirocores are also available in several sizes from large full-size (4/4) basses to small 1/4 size basses. Scordatura strings available Thomastik Spirocores are a comprehensive range.
