D'Addario Helicore Hybrid Double Bass String Set Medium 3/4

Helicore’s premium quality materials combined with skilled workmanship produces strings known for excellent pitch stability and longevity. Packaged in uniquely-designed sealed pouches providing unparalleled protection from the elements that cause corrosion.

The Helicore Hybrid are a purposeful compromise between the extremes of their Orchestral and Pizzicato strings. While the orchestra strings are designed primarily for Arco (bowing) and the Pizzicato strings are primarily for those playing pizz (plucking), the Hybrids are made for those who happen to do a little of each! They have slightly more growl and sustain, and are not quite as bowable as the Orchestra set -- but still are quite a nice choice if you bow sometimes, but want a bit more grit and sustain than the Orchestral strings provide when playing pizz.
