Velvet Strings Announces "Velvet Blue"

Sign in to disble this ad
Velvet Strings, the Swiss Double Bass strings maker is proud to present their newest string, Velvet Blue. The Blue is the first Velvet string that doesn’t have a silk core, instead having a synthetic core that took almost 2 years to develop. "We wanted to make a more affordable string that still sounds like a Velvet, following the philosophy of the other Velvet strings: great articulation, big volume and sustain and equal tension on all 4 strings. The Blue has it all, it’s a bit brighter than the silk cousins, but offers a fast response with a great articulation and nice volume. This is a string with a student price but with a professional sound."

"After 15 years of the company existence, we are proud to offer a Velvet String with a great sound at a mainstream price, entering into a market, where price calculation is an issue."

Velvet Blue

Just bought a set of Velvet Anima strings today from David Gage.
He told me about these but didn't have any in stock yet.

Love the Velvets but they are expensive. It would be nice to have a Velvet string that sounds as good as the originals but is more reasonably priced.

Looking forward to some feedback from someone who has tried them.
