Nicole Melrose is an orchestral string clinician for D’Addario and the founder of StringRise, which we covered with Nicole in a 2021 interview. Today, we dig into the world of double bass strings, how they are made, what makes double bass strings unique, and the various strings offered by D’Addario. D’Addario is a past sponsor of the podcast, and if you join their Players Circle with the code DCLINIC2023, you can get 50% off of up to five D’Addario products with free shipping.
