Find the Perfect Strings for Your Instrument at our Online Strings Shop

Strings help translate your musical intentions into the sound that fills the room. They can significantly impact your tone, projection, and playability and make your instrument sing with warmth, brilliance, depth, or whatever you are looking for.

Choosing the right strings is like finding the right words to express your emotions; they should communicate your personality as well as your instrument's character. At our strings music shop, we pride ourselves on offering only the best for musicians of all playing abilities. Our string collection includes many options to suit every player's needs and preferences.

Violin Strings

The right violin strings can make a world of difference in performance. At our strings shop in Brisbane, you can find prestigious options from Pirastro and Thomastik, known for their consistent quality and resonant sound. For instance, Pirastro's Evah Pirazzi strings are favoured for their powerful, dynamic sound, making them ideal for advanced students and professionals looking for a brilliant, golden tone and diverse sound colours.

For a more mellow, rounded tone, consider Thomastik's Dominant strings. They are the industry standard, perfect for beginners and intermediate players seeking warmth and richness.

Viola Strings

Viola players often seek a balance between warmth and clarity. With our range of viola strings from D'Addario and Pirastro, you can achieve that perfect tone. Pirastro's viola strings offer a bright, focused sound with excellent projection, perfect for solo performances. If you want to add depth to your sound, the D'Addario Kaplan series is an ideal choice with its warm, rich tone.

Cello Strings

Cello strings must balance depth with brightness. Consider our Larsen string selection, which is admired for its brilliant yet warm tone. These strings provide a rich, resonant sound that can fill any concert hall. Our collection of Jargar strings offers a slightly different quality, focusing on clarity and responsiveness. They are an excellent choice for players who need precision in their musical articulation.

Double Bass Strings

Our strings shop features a diverse range of top-tier double bass strings from D'Addario, Pirastro, and Thomastik. They provide robust sound and reliable durability, combining power and stability. For example, D'Addario's Helicore strings are a popular choice for their quick bow response and ease of playing, making them ideal for pizzicato and arco techniques. Thomastik's Spirocore strings are also highly responsive but offer a longer period of musical vibration and are less inertia-prone. They are much favoured by jazz bassists for their amplified pickup tones.
