Thomastic BELCANTO BASS SOLO B (3rd String)

Belcanto bass strings are specially formulated for bowing. They are an all steel string made to very tight specifications with excellent quality control. From the makers of Spirocore, Belcanto is now available in Orchestra Tuning (G-D-A-E) and in Solo Tuning (A-E-B-F#). Lemur stocks all the extension fourth strings, and 5th strings in each Belcanto Bass String Brand. Made in Austria.

Belcanto upright bass is made with a specially twisted steel rope core that's known to settle in quickly, so you get the orchestra response you need right away with little wait time while the strings 'settle down.' They are known for their even response and exceptional tuning stability. These bass strings produce a dark, warm tone that is complex and easy to blend into the section. Like their pizzicato cousins, Spirocore, Belcanto has good projection, so there is less need to overplay just to be heard.

Some of our jazz clients have told us they like Belcanto for pizz work, too. They say that there is enough sustain, quick response, and strong projection to make them work well as a hybrid bass string also. Lemur's Luthiers like the way Belcanto brings out the more complex tones of our Sunrise Basses, making even entry level basses sound and play their best.

Thanks, Thomastik. We really enjoy representing this first class bass string.
