Pro Arté A synthetic Perlon core enables D'Addario's Pro Arte strings to offer the sound and feel of traditional gut strings without the problems associated with delicate gut cores. The finest aluminum, silver, and tungsten alloys are precision wound and polished on D'Addario's state-of-the-art winding machines. Carefully hand finished and hand inspected, this is a string for the professional or serious amateur. Available in small sizes. |

Helicore Steel rope core string. Helicores are crafted with a multi-strand twisted steel core and wound with exotic metals like titanium (used here for the first time in bowed instrument strings). These innovative materials have enabled D'Addario to design strings with a very small diameter to provide extremely quick bow response. The application of damping resins under selected windings gives the Helicores a warm, rich sound, quite unlike steel strings of the past. The strings are subtle under the ear, yet carry great projection in large concert halls. Helicores stay in tune especially well due to their cores, and retain a long playing life.

Prelude D'Addario Preludes are solid high-carbon steel core strings with polished pure nickel windings. Introduced in 1983, Preludes have undergone systematic improvements to make them the finest sounding and playing student-grade strings on the market today. Each string is wound on D'Addario's latest Kaplamatic winding equipment, where layer upon layer of winding is applied without removing the core tension. During the winding phases, damping resin is applied under the wrap wire to reduce the brightness of tone usually associated with solid steel core strings. Available in many small sizes.
