D'Addario Helicore Orchestral Bass Single A String, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension, H613-M
D'Addario Helicore Orchestral Bass Single A String, 3/4 Scale, Light Tension, H613-L
Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), these light tension strings allow for easier bow response.
Helicore Orchestral bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized for arco use, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired.
DEFINED TONE: clear and focused articulation
INCREDIBLE BOW RESPONSE: fast, flexible, and responsive
UNPARALLELED VERSATILITY: pairs exceptionally well with a wide variety of instrument types and musical styles

Helicore Bass
"The standard Helicore bass strings, introduced in 1994, have met with worldwide acclaim. These stranded steel core strings (standard H610 models) provide unprecedented ease of bowing and the warm, natural tone one would expect from a fine gut core string.
In 1996, with the help of D'Addario Musician's Advisory Board members, D'Addario completed development of additional Helicore double bass string varieties. The new strings include the HP series, designed specifically for the bassist who plays pizzicato, HH series, for those who play a broad range of musical styles, and HS series, for solo orchestral work.
The HH series has improved pizzicato sustain over the standard orchestral models, yet still provides excellent bow response for arco passages. The HP series provides even more sustain and "growl" when played pizzicato. The HS series is a solo tuning version (one full step above normal pitch) of the standard orchestral Helicore strings."
