"I’ve been using DR Strings for over twenty years now, and I see no reason to change.  This is due to the quality of tone, they’re ability to stay brighter for longer, and they stay in tune even after being thrown around on stage!   Excellent strings that I’d recommend to anyone!"

WOUND BY HAND

​

Making our bass strings by hand allows us to closely monitor quality,

make micro adjustments throughout the winding process, and add a

human element that we feel can’t be duplicated by a machine.
