Developing the Passione for the orchestra bassist we have
not made any compromises in the construction of the string in order to
offer optimal sound and playability characteristics. The result is a
set of double bass strings which offers outstanding arco playability, an
inspiring diversity of sounds and it allows the bassist to use all
possible bow strokes to create the desired sound.
The core sound is full,
round and warm and has a complex overtone spectrum which results in a
deep and noble sound with great projection and power. The sustain
characteristics of the string allow a strong, big and warm pizzicato –
Bass PASSIONE is a modern and very reliable steel core string suitable
for the demanding bassist.
The response is incredibly easy and flexible, the notes are separate
and distinctively clean when played in fast passages. No matter whether
playing Spiccato or Legato, the sound can be altered as desired
independently from the bowing speed. The big advantage of the Passione
strings is that the sound does not need to be developed by using excess
bow pressure as the strings vibrate freely and easily. The set is
extremely well-balanced concerning tension and sound. Immediate
playability and exceptional tuning stability are important additional
advantages which offer great comfort to the bassist.
