No one knows flatwound bass strings better than Thomastik. Inspired by the "Spirocore" double bass strings, the Jazz Flat Wound series allows bassists to enjoy the warm and round sound that has made the Austrian company famous. Thomastik uses a very flexible steel core wrapped with a silk winding. The outer winding is a genuine flat-wound ribbon, made from a special nickel alloy. The result is an incredible tonal depth and an enhanced fundamental that is not available on any other flatwound string.
A story of passion
"You just have to make one yourself!" That was the answer Franz Thomastik’s father gave when he asked for a violin. And young Franz took it literally. By making them in cigar boxes or from the finest woods, he spent his life pursuing excellence in crafting his instruments but also, and especially, his strings, for which he patented a manufacturing process.
The Austrian manufacturer left behind a true legacy and unmatched expertise that his company continues to nurture, allowing plucked and bowed string players to enjoy an extremely high-quality sound.
