Velvet BLUE Double Bass strings set Velvet Strings, the Swiss Double Bass strings maker is proud to present their newest string, Velvet Blue. The Blue is the first Velvet string that doesn't have a silk core, instead having a synthetic core that took almost 2 years to develop. "We wanted to make a more affordable string that still sounds like a Velvet, following the philosophy of the other Velvet strings: great articulation, big volume and sustain and equal tension on all 4 strings. The Blue has it all, it's a bit brighter than the silk cousins, but offers a fast response with a great articulation and nice volume. This is a string with a student price but with a professional sound. FREE SHIPPING ABOVE 200,-Euro of order!!!
