D'Addario Helicore Strings & Kaplan Rosin

Helicore Violin Strings

Helicore violin strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, making for optimum playability and producing a clear, warm tone. The smaller string diameter provides quick bow response. Through special manufacturing techniques, the Helicore strings have a warm, clear sound with excellent pitch stability and durability. Available in various scales, 1/4 through 4/4 and in three different tensions. Light tension strings allow for easier bow response, medium tension strings are optimized to the needs of a majority of players and heavy tension strings will allow for greater projection and volume potential.

Kaplan Premium Rosin

Available in light and dark, Kaplan Premium Rosin is suitable for violin, viola, and cello bows and the special Kaplan recipe produces less dust, keeping hands and instruments cleaner. The rosin comes attached to the inside of the applicator case, which "locks" shut for clean, easy storage in an instrument case or bag. Once the tabs are squeezed to open the case, the rosin is then applied right from the case, where it can be rotated for uniform wear and maximum use.

"Rosin is one of those little things that's absolutely essential for orchestral musicians that everyone just assumes is the same stuff, no matter what the brand," remarks David Luce, D'Addario Bowed Strings Brand Manager. "Each brand of rosin has its own specific formula, and this premium Kaplan mixture and process produces extremely find-grained rosin.

When you add something like their inventive, rotating applicator/storage case, the Kaplan Premium Rosin becomes quite a unique and desirable product that offers even more value to the musician.
