Helicore “Pizzicato” Strings

Description

As you’ve probably gathered from reading our string descriptions, the selection of string can make a profound difference in response, so D’Addario offers strings in three flavors: Orchestra, Hybrid, and Pizzicato.

D’Addario makes Helicore Pizzicato strings for players who play mostly pizzicato (plucking), hence the name. They have the most sustain and growl in the Helicore family of strings. They have a brighter attack for pizz play, which can provide that more “modern” jazz tone, and cut through a denser mix. If you do bow, though, you might consider the

Hybrids, as they maintain some of the pizzicato “presence” but are easier to bow than the Pizzicatos.

They are available in light, medium and heavy tensions.An Extended E/C string (for low string extensions) is also available.
