OPTIMA 24K GOLD STRINGSBRIAN MAY

How would probably sound his hit songs if Brian May would use conventional guitar strings? But he has decided for the SOUND OF GOLD and we are proud that our strings have made, and still make, a small contribution to Brian May‘s great success.

BRIAN MAY Signature is a coordinated set which was developed specifically with and for Brian. A highlight of the art of making strings.

But also the best strings can become better. Our BRIAN MAY 24K GOLD Strings now have a new core material which is more tearproof and which improves the tuning stability significantly.

OPTIMA 24K GOLD STRINGSFRANK ZAPPA

Frank Zappa played this exclusive set, and you don‘t have to explain that he was success-ful with it. We have this series revived, so now everyone can be a little like Frank Zappa.

One imagines a flat wound string like that. Per-fection meets innovation. The bass strings are all wound in the Double Wound process.

PURE NICKEL flat wound, and finely polished and with tradi-tional purple winding (Anspinnung) at string end, a feast for the eyes, these strings leave nothing to be desired.

Our OPTIMA CHROME STRINGS captivate with a fast and stable intonation, great dura-bility, and are perfect for highestquality instru-ments. For the winding wire we use an alloy that is ideal for the sound pickup. The result is a crisp sound with very good playability.


OPTIMA FLATWOUND STRINGS are wound with a PURE NICKEL flat wire and are finely polished afterwards. One imagines a flat wound string like that. Perfection meets in-novation. The bass strings are all wound by the Double Wound process.

OPTIMA RB FLATWOUND Bass Strings



14

For bass players who yearn for that old-school thump of the 50’s and 60’s, we’ve gone back in time to re-produce a flat wound bass string which truly revives the feel and sound of an era… the way you remember it. We endeavoured to make the OPTIMA RB FLATWOUNDS authentic in every way. Cons-tructed over a round core for increased flexibility and lower tension, the OPTIMA RB FLATWOUNDS are wound with a PURE NICKEL flat wire, which is then polished to a high shine, resulting in a string that is both supple and comforta-ble to play. With the OPTIMA RB FLATWOUNDS, we have created a flat wound bass string which echo’s the classic tones of yesteryear.

OPTIMA No.6 – This name every concert guitarist has to remember, because these strings are a completely new dimension. We have left behind old patterns and old ma-terials and have simply invented the classical guitar string again. The bass strings, made of a completely new core material, wound with a 24 Carat Gold or our Special Silver wrapping, result in a string with an extremely fast respon-se and a powerful tone that is sustainable and very rich in overtones, whereby the sound spectrum remains perfectly balanced.

The set is completed with either our Clear Nylon, or our highly praised Natural Carbon treble strings.

Our No.6-series is now also avai-lable as treble- and bass set.

WALDZITHER

BANJO Art.

Art.

Art.

Our OPTIMA SILVER STRINGS are unpo-lished, and wound with a silver-plated copper wire.

All strings have the traditional posy (Sträuß-chen) at the string end.

For the Thuringian Waldzither (Thüringer Waldzither) we have developed a special set with silver-plated copper wire which has a loop end. All strings have the traditional posy (Sträußchen).

The strings for the Hamburger or Böhmwald-zither are identical in construction with those of the Thüringer Waldzither, however they have a loop end at both string ends.

For an order you have to indicate the exact total length inclusive the loop ends.

OPTIMA BANJO STRINGS have this certain „Twang“. This little pitch fluctuation when plu-cked makes out here the (Banjo) music. Our silver plated strings sound „smoother“ than standard Phosphor Bronze strings and are therefore ideal for the Banjo.
