Pirastro Original FlatChrom and Flat Chromesteel Strings
Original FlatChrom, once called Eudoxa, is the most robust of the steel strings. Similar to Original
Flexocor, this string requires more bow pressure. For bowing. Pirastro calls Flat Chromesteel the
universal steel string with brilliant sound and long sustain. FlatChrom is a good choice for
instruments in both orchestra and traditional jazz combos. However, we might suggest substituting
the fourth string in this application.

Thomastik Spirocore Strings
Spirocore is used in a greater variety of applications than any other string. Premier as a modern
jazz string, it has a very bright sound and long sustain. Many mix-and-match sets use Spirocore
4th, long 4th, and 5th strings in order to get a clear pitch in the lower register. We also stock half
size, and a "Red Mitchell Set" which is a four string set tuned in fifths.
Spirocore solo is one of the few that offers a long 4th or F# string. We keep these in stock for mix-
and-match solo sets.

Jargar Strings
Jargar is an excellent quality metal string used primarily for bowing. The three gauges cover an
unusually wide range of string tensions from the Forte, which is thick and robust sounding, to the
Dolce, which is light enough to tune up to solo tuning or can be used at orchestra pitch when lower
tension is desired. The Jargar strings have a more gut-like sound than most steel strings.

Helicore Orchestra by D'Addario
The D'Addario Helicore strings have become an established favorite in the orchestra and are
gaining popularity in other areas too. Shown below are the strings made for bowing, which include
three gauges for orchestra tuning and a set gauged for solo tuning. These strings respond easily to
the bow and possess a warm clarity in the lower register.
A note about string tension
The D’Addario strings run a little lighter than Thomastik or older Pirastro product lines. So, for
example, Helicore medium is about the same as Spirocore weich. The tension of Helicore heavy is
about like Original Flexocor or Original FlatChrom. The newer Pirastro strings, such as
Permanent, Obligato, and Flexocor, have tension similar to Helicore medium.

Super Sensitive and Supreme
Super sensitive is a popularly priced stainless steel string that is used primarily by Jr. High and
High schools. Supreme is similar in construction but with a much finer surface finish on the outer
wrap as well as thread around the inner rope core to soften the sound. We've been told that
Supreme is one of the darkest sounding orchestra strings available.

Bass Bridges
The right bridge, properly fitted to your instrument, can substantially affect the tone and playability.
In order to maximize the health of your bass, Lemur has revised its bass bridge offering to have
more variety and more sizes. A properly sized bridge should have one foot centered on the bass
bar when the bridge is placed in the middle of the instrument. It is very possible that a 1/2 size
bridge will be the best fit for your 3/4 bass. Please refer to the chart on the following page.

Lemur Music is now making all of our adjustable bridges in house in order to maintain the highest
quality product. The products listed below use select quality maple bridges, such as A1325 or
A1326, and are precision fitted with our aluminum adjusters (see A1340 below). The feet are
intentionally left tight, or hard to turn, to aid fitting the feet to the top of the instrument. After the feet
are fitted, we recommend clearing the unthreaded hole in the bridge feet with a letter "E" drill, just
.007" oversize, to make the adjuster easy to turn yet maintain a precision feel . If you desire a
different bridge or ebony adjusters, we can deliver the combination you desire for the cost of parts
plus a $35 workshop fee. List Lemur
