The entire Toronto Symphony Bass Section uses Orig Flatchrome ADG with a Spirocore Extended E or Helicore Heavy extended E. The new principal uses Belcanto's and one of the players strings his bass in Olivs.

Last I played Tim Dawson's bass it was Orig. Flexocor GDA and Spiro ext. E

Do you know if Jeff Beecher is using a prototype Belcanto ext. E or another string?

Hanulik uses the burgundy ones...flex-a-something-somethings.
