Description

BK300S SYNTAL set of strings for balalaika double BASS, Mr. Musician
The first synthetic strings for balalaika contrabass!
The base of the strings is Sintal, braid of French piano copper.
Sintal-the latest synthetic fiber is not inferior to steel neither in strength nor in sound quality. Strings with the base of this material quickly sit on the instrument, less prone to wear on the frets, perfectly keep the system, and their sound is different brightness power and sonority.
D / D Sintal / copper, diameter 1.7 mm, tension 38 kg (for instrument 3/4 35 kg).
A/La Cental/copper, diameter 2.1 mm, tension 36 kg (instrument 3/4 33??).
E / we Sintal / copper, diameter 2.75 mm, tension 36 kg (for instrument 3/4 33 kg).
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of high-quality strings for balalaika! After all, only fresh, and therefore clean, not stretched, without damage to the strings will help to fully convey to the listener all the nuances of the sound of the instrument, will Express its "soul".
As with most musical instruments, the balalaika has traditionally used vein strings made from the intestines of sheep. The beginning of wide use of high-carbon steel allowed to replace sensitive natural strings with more sonorous and durable metal ones, and since the middle of the 20th century, after the invention of synthetic material-nylon, wire strings have finally gone into the past.
Today, the majority of balalaika metal strings are installed, with the exception of two strings Mi balalaika prima, which are usually made of synthetics: nylon or carbon. The thin metal string is made of steel with a high carbon content, which makes the material more rigid and solid, and therefore sonorous. Strings with a lower sound have not only a steel base, but also a braid of wire of another metal.
