July 08 Velvet introduces the new BLUE-SET of Strings for Doublebass June 07 NEW COMPAS 180 SUIT - Same manufacturing and material as Compas 180 but in a lower tension version. Compas 180 Suit are suitable to be played in orchestral and solo tuning. January 07 NEW CELLO STRINGS !!! Velvet, famous for its double bass strings, now offers strings for cellos, a world novelty! The strings are made with a core of pure natural silk, an organic material very similar to gut that - thanks to an additional textile fibre and a slow winding process - rules out the gut’s tuning and longevity problems. The strings feature a tension similar to steel strings and a very fast and vibrant response with rich harmonics, strong bass and powerful projection. These strings undoubtedly enrich the Cellist’s performance.EnricoFagone.htmlcellostrings.htmlblue.htmlcompas.htmlcompas.htmlcellostrings.htmlshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2shapeimage_4_link_3shapeimage_4_link_4shapeimage_4_link_5

For Double Bass and Cello amplification, Velvet recommends the use of Schertler equipment.
