Eurosonic Bass strings

Designed as an alternative to costly and problematic gut strings, Eurosonic Bass Strings are primarily a pizzicato string that are developing a cult like following with many jazz and bluegrass musicians.

Eurosonic Bass Strings have a unique design that sets them apart from all others. First is the inner core which is a braided cord consisting of steel and silk. Silk is the key to the low tension, gut like tones and the steel adds tuning and intonation stability while adding the ability to work with magnetic pickups. This cord is then tightly wrapped with a blend of non-ferrous and noble metals (copper, nickel, zinc, tungsten, etc.). Finally, they are wrapped with a specially shaped and ground polymer with no color additives giving Eurosonic strings a unique, almost translucent look. Eurosonic Bass Strings have a gauge that is comparable to many old gut strings (new gut strings are MUCH thicker as they have not yet stretched).
 

Eurosonic Bass Strings - Medium Tension
E = 3.80mm A = 3.10mm D = 2.50mm G = 1.90mm

Eurosonic Bass Strings - Light Tension
E = 3.60mm A = 2.80mm D = 2.40mm G = 1.75mm
Eurosonic Bass Strings - Ultra Light Tension
E = 3.30mm A = 2.55mm D = 2.25mm G = 1.65mm

Professional Endorsements:

“EUROSONIC strings provide a great alternative to gut. They have all of the great qualities of gut combined with the stability of metal, a perfect marriage. I've had the opportunity to check them out on a number of basses and once they are played in, the results are the same; great tone, projection and playability combined with superior workmanship."

-Dave Santoro, CT Double Bassist

“As a pizzicato string, they offer a huge, full sound that feels great in the left hand. The same boom that is characteristic of gut strings is also prevalent in Eurosonic.”
“If you are a pizzicato player who has tried just about everything, these strings will raise your eyebrows with their modern feel and tone.”
-Sean McClowry

Eurosonic Orchestra Strings
We are proud to introduce our own brand of bass strings made especially for arco playing. These are a standard steel ropecore construction and provide a complex warm tone that speaks easily. We encourage you to try these out and compare with Helicore, Spirocore, and Obligato Bass strings at 2/3 the cost. Feel free to ask your sales rep about a trial.

Eurosonic Cello Strings
Along with the production of quality orchestra style bass strings, we were also able to introduce similarly constructed cello A+ D strings that provide incredible tone and response at a very reasonable price. In fact, many shops, including a top-notch Boston maker, have compared these strings favorably to Larsen A and D strings. We are so confident about these strings that we have replaced the Larsen A and D strings with Eurosonic on our cello setups and have found them to compliment the Spirocore Tungsten C and G strings perfectly.
