Strings from SoundBox (try and buy!)

The Saddle Rider Research Collective is partnering with SoundBox Strings to provide a wide variety of professional and student strings for violin, viola, cello, and double bass. Soundbox founders Philo and Seth (cellists, of course, like so many innovators in the string world!) have a radical new business model that allows players to try strings and return the ones that don’t work well for their instruments. Check out their website at SoundBoxStrings.com

While we “Saddle Riders” we have strong opinions about strings, as evidenced by our videos comparing gut to steel and multiple blog posts, the string world is changing so fast that continuing research is helpful to learn about the latest models from Pirastro, Larsen, Thomastik-Infeld, D’Addario, and the other “players” in the field of string technology. Please stay tuned for upcoming blog posts on string selection, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions!
