Noticing a need for an easily playable, yet economical, bass string set for students, D'Addario has introduced bass strings to their popular Prelude line of bowed strings. Crafted with a special stranded steel core designed to provide optimum playability and the ideal tension for developing bassists, stainless steel wound Prelude bass strings have a quick, easy bow response and a clear, warm tone that is even from string to string and blends well with the rest of the orchestra.
