Velvet Bass Strings

The Velvet Garbo, Anima, and Compas 180 strings are constructed around cores of natural fibres. This produces a sound and feel which cannot be distinguished from pure gut strings. Windings are made from either copper or a synthetic materials, to reinforce the strings' warmth and richness of tone. Each type of string offers unique characteristics, and provides an attractive solution for most playing applications.

GARBO strings are made with a solid core and are designed to enhance the particular frequencies which enable the acoustic instrument to hold its own - even against a drum set. The sound is especially distinctive for the lower-middle frequency range, offering rich harmonics that are clear and assertive with the familiar "kick" as the note begins. The Garbo strings can produce a fullness of tone and penetration which is simply unbeatable.

ANIMA's thinner core ensures a rapid response for pizzicato and arco players alike. The strings produce a strong well-balanced sound with a rich bass and open **harmonic** range. Perfect definition and audibility in all registers makes them suitable for practically every application from Jazz to Baroque.

COMPAS 180 is a classical string designed for orchestral tuning. These strings are made using up-to-date textile fibres which make the strings particularly elastic, allowing increased amplitude of vibration, and producing a full, rich, open sound. The pizzicato is strong with long sustain. The strings respond perfectly to harmonics, which are crystal-clear. Compas 180 requires no change in playing technique by the instrumentalist, while opening up new possibilities in terms of sound, tone and modulation.
