Key Performance Features

Solid Steel Core: Prelude strings utilize a durable, solid steel core that provides maximum stability, excellent projection, and a tone that is warmer than comparable stranded steel core strings. The solid core construction makes them highly durable and resistant to breakage.

3/4 Scale Optimization: This set is designed for 3/4 size upright basses, the most common size, ensuring the proper fit and tension required for optimal sound production and playability on standard student instruments.

Medium Tension: The Medium Tension is highly versatile and forgiving, providing a comfortable feel under the fingers and ensuring ease of bowing, which is beneficial for developing technique in newer players.

Excellent Bow Response: Known for their quick and smooth response to the bow, Prelude strings are engineered to produce a clean, focused tone, helping students achieve clear articulation and steady bowing early in their development.

Temperature and Humidity Stability: The steel core provides superior pitch stability, meaning the strings are minimally affected by changes in temperature and humidity—a major benefit for instruments used in different environments like classrooms, auditoriums, and outdoor events.
