Description

The tradition of string making for the Mari family was first recorded in Salle, Italy in the 1640s. The “House of Mari” supplied gut strings to legendary violin makers Amati, Cremona & Stradivari. In 1913, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari left Italy to seek new opportunities in America, settling in NYC where they handmade gut strings in their small apartment. After much success, they opened their first factory in 1914, and soon after started making strings under the brand “La Bella”. La Bella is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated string maker in the world. Every set is manufactured in our facility in New York using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string. Suitable for all genres of music, our strings utilize the best constructions around, creating very bright and long-lasting strings. Our string utilize the best available material and technique, resulting in naturally longer lasting string. We never sacrifice quality. From rounds to flats, we’ve earned our reputation as hands down the best bass string maker in the world. Each classical guitar set is the product of decades of research with quality and tone at the forefront of every set. We’re one of the only string makers to focus on the flamenco genre, providing players with the best options for flamenco music. Our acoustic folk strings utilize the best materials and techniques in the market, resulting in naturally longer lasting strings. From strings for double bass jazz players, to student-sized violin strings, La Bella has a set for nearly every genre and level. We combine high-quality material with local knowledge to produce professional quality set for the most obscure and regional instrument. The tradition of string making dates back to the 1640s in Salle, Italy, where the Mari family supplied gut strings to the famous violin builders of Cremona. In 1913, brothers Olinto & Emilio Mari arrived in New York bringing their family craft to the States. Over the years, the brothers shaped the landscape of the string industry with their innovative designs. Every set is manufactured using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string. Since the 50s and 60s, La Bella's DEEP TALKIN' BASS Stainless Steel Flat Wounds have been the choice of professional bass players and continue to be the standard for the best sounding Flat Wounds on the market.

    • Amazing strings!
Size: Standard 45-105, Short Scale

So I broke a bass string while working on my bass and needed a replacement set of flatwounds. My previous set of D'Addarios were fine, but I wanted to try something new. LaBellas had great reviews and were in the correct gauge and scale length for my bass, so I ordered a set. Once they came in and I installed/tuned them, I was thoroughly impressed! The finish on the strings is like a fine polish and it's crazy how smooth they are, very easy on my fingertips. The black string ends look really cool against my bass' headstock as well! Honestly I'm not much of a player, so my opinion on tone may not be worth much, but I thought they sounded quite nice, and my bass player friend is going to give my bass a try soon. I'll try and report back what he says! ... show more

    • Classic Bass-Heavy Tone, High Tension, and Smooth Interaction
Size: Medium 49-109, Short Scale
These strings showed up as described, so now I have chunky flatwound strings on my short scale bass, which can be hard to find (especially in-person). I preferred the slightly thicker 1954 originals (i.e the "James Jamersons") by La Bella for the extra tension, but since those seem to be discontinued for short scales, these ones do the job just fine and deliver the smooth, thump-heavy tone that I like, with a noticeable increase in volume over the medium-sized roundwounds I was using before. This set has no coating, but just like any other flatwound string these are very smooth and won't wear through your fingertips or (in the case of a fretless bass) your fretboard as quickly, nor will they generate string noise while sliding. While they won't abrade you, be aware that flatwounds in general will require extra strength both to fret and to pluck than roundwounds, especially in this gauge if you're switching over for the first time, and slaps/pops will certainly be more of a workout. You may want to opt for coated or lighter-gauge strings if you're not a fan of the higher tension. The price of these La Bella strings has gone up in recent years; flatwounds always tend to be a more expensive and specialized option anyway (and even more so in short scale), but these strings will last for years at the minimum as long as you aren't going out of your way to break them, or chasing after a brightness that these aren't really meant for. La Bellas are also silk wrapped on the post ends/taper and colored coded on the ball ends, which gives them a bit of a classier look to fit the price tag. If you're willing to shell out for these strings, take extra care not to damage them during installation while you're at it; pinch them by the silk wrapping above the nut while winding by hand or keying them onto the posts to keep tension off of the played/resonating portion of the string until most of the slack is taken up, so that the core doesn't kink at the bridge and then twist during winding resulting in a "dead" tone with low sustain. I once ruined the E string in a set of Original 54s that way by handling them like ordinary electric guitar strings. ... show more

    • Don't cheap out on flatwounds
Size: Standard 45-105, Short Scale
After buying a Fender Mustang bass I needed to find flatwound strings for it. The only strings compatible were the ones LaBella makes specifically for Mustangs with string-through bodies. I had previously thought all flatwound strings were the same; I couldn't have been more wrong. It's obvious the second you open the pack of strings; they're far more polished and smooth that the other brands I've used (Diaddario and Fender), but that's not where the differences end. The smoothness of the strings, besides being easier on the fretting fingers for sliding, create a MUCH darker tone out of the box. One of my gripes with new bass strings is that they're usually way too bright and punchy, but these strings sound like BASS strings from the moment you first tune up. I just switched the strings on my travel bass - a mini Squier P-Bass - and they sound so much better than the flatwound Fender strings I previously had on it. I don't usually write reviews for anything, but I've never been so blown away by the quality of a product compared to the competition. ... show more

    • Good strings, poor packaging from La Bella
Size: Standard 45-105, Short Scale
Great strings. Vintagey thump. I took one star off because the packaging of these strings by the manufacturer is lousy. Not Amazon packaging but La Bella packaging. For the price La bella wants for these strings you would hope they would be packaged more securely. They seem to be just rolled loosely and put in between the printed La Bella paper label. And then in sealed plastic. My E string had a soft 1" bend on it but thankfully it straightened out with tension. Poor and inadequate manufacturer packaging for pricey strings. ... show more

    • Warm Thump!
Size: Standard 45-105, Short Scale
Bought these in order to play some 50's/60's tracks and some country music...impressed so far. Yes, you lose some of the brightness of round wounds, but you gain warmth and subtle thump if played in the right manner :-)
