Santi Debriano Quartet - Awesome Blues, Whatever 2018 Panama Jazz Festival Jazzicato with the bow: ”13 days in Paris” played by Yoshi Und das alles zu einem musikerfreundlichen Preis! Danke! Jazzicatos on YouTube Aus meiner Sicht eine sehr gute Verbindung der Vorteile von Darm-, Stahl- und Kunststoffsaiten: Darmsound, Kunststoffhaptik, Haltbarkeit und Stimmstabilität vom Stahl. Ganz klare Empfehlung für oldschool - Jazz, Rockabilly und, ja, alte Musik / Renaissance / Barock!! Handschmeichlerisch sind sie sowieso, den Nickelallergiker freut die Nylonumspinnung. Einzig die Bezeichnung "jazzicato" ist etwas irreführend. Und man verwende sie auch mal con arco, das geht sehr gut. Also, liebe Kollegen: wer mal einen Versuch jenseits vom Stahl machen möchte, ohne sich des Darmes Nachteile einhandeln zu wollen, liegt hier richtig. Da kostet eine Saite so viel wie hier ein ganzer Satz. They make singing my doublebass as it never did in the past!

(colour code = colour of yarn winding at the ends of the string diameters/string thicknesses in mm, tolerance +/- 0.02 mm) Presto strings are available for orchestra tuning (GDAE) in three gauges: Due to their steel rope core, Presto Nylonwound-strings also work well with magnetic pickups. If strings of thinner gauges were used before, some setup work may be necessary at the saddle and bridge string notches.

Presto Nylonwound-strings are ideally suited for pizzicato and slapping techniques. The thicker gauges and the smooth polyamid-surface lead to a very pleasant playing feel under your fingers. Compared to other steel strings, Presto Nylonwound-strings are of very low tension. Finally, they are wound in a white-translucent polyamid monofil, and polished to a flat, smooth surface.
