■ Ken Smith offers a wide variety of sets, nearly 150 in total, to suit a wide range of musical styles (each string is handmade, just like their bass guitars). This has made them one of the most trusted and popular strings in the United States for over 20 years.
■ Ken Smith stainless steel strings incorporate a nickel alloy to reduce the rough feel often associated with conventional stainless steel strings. They combine the feel, good tension, and durability of nickel strings with the brightness and sharpness of stainless steel strings.
■Ken Smith was a pioneer in developing and commercializing tapered core strings for multi-string basses (Ken Smith was also the first manufacturer in the world to commercialize the 6-string bass). Their strings are of high quality and extremely well-balanced, reflecting Ken Smith's own many years of experience as a professional studio musician and the ideas of top New York musicians.
■Ken Smith manufactures its own strings in-house and inspects each one by hand before packaging, allowing them to always provide customers with high-quality strings. This ensures that they are genuine strings that meet the strict demands of professionals. Give these high-quality, well-balanced strings, made for professionals, a taste you won't find anywhere else.
