New Eurosonic Orchestra Strings!

[John Cubbage]

Thank you for having this thread on double bass strings.

Recently I saw a video of a bass player who had strings on his bass that had green silk end wrapping with a purple thread spiraling over the green. Can you tell me what brand / model of string this was?

Thanks.

Not sure. A pic might help.

Please use the address below and watch the video segment. The player shows a close-up of the strings, green silk wrapped with purple spiral, on the video.

Maybe the newish Evah Pirazzi strings from Pirastro.

Thank you.

If you go to the website for Shar Music you can click on the camera icon under the Winding" column and see the colors each string is wrapped in silk at the ends. The Pirastro Evah Pirazzi has no picture of their end wrapping, so you could be correct about which string those colors belong to.

By the way, I am shocked at the string prices. Back in 1968-72 I could go to Shroeder's Music supply downtown Manhattan (S. Park Ave. or S. 5th Ave?) and buy Pirastro Flexocore bass orchestra strings for $23 to $25 dollars a set. Now they want ten times that price? Wow! I'd like to see modern manufacturing technology bring the prices down.

Thanks again for the string information.
