D’Addario Joins Forces With Ned Steinberger To Develop NS Electric Bowed Instrument Strings
NS Strings are mostly made with stranded steel cores wrapped with aluminum, brass, tungsten, nickel, and stainless steel. The strings are available for:
• Standard electric bowed instruments (violin, viola, and cello)
• Electric upright basses using NS Standard Double Bass string length
• Any standard Bass Guitar and NS Omni Bass, to provide a warm, upright bass sound
Constructed and tensioned similarly to acoustic bass strings, the Traditional Double Bass set offers a warm tone, feel, and great bow response. The Contemporary Double Bass set produces a brighter sound and offers lower tension. All NS Double Bass strings are designed to fit NS Double Basses and NSDB-Standard instruments, 46.5” wound length, 54” overall string length.
The Bass Guitar/Bass cello (Omni Bass) strings are made to fit all standard 34” – 35” scale bass guitars. These expressive strings are polished smooth for an intimate feel with rich bass tone and a clear, singing upper register.
Please contact your D’Addario representative to learn more about NS Electric. Available now, the strings will retail from $6.50 - $91.00 as singles, and $67.00 - $249.00 as 4-string sets.
