HI-BEAM ™

 

DR HandMade's Tite-Fit Stainless Steel Bass Strings on Round Core Hi-Beam stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a round core which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care, and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible, musically bright (not harshly bright) and renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency, and string-to-string balance. They don’t eat your frets. HI-BEAMS are the string to choose for brightness, and ease of playing.

 

Fine Strings

 

DR HandMade Strings have been dedicated to making wonderful sounding handmade guitar strings since 1989. The concept is that great sound inspires a musician to play better and longer, while adding a new level of enjoyment.

 

Obsession for Greatness

 

Since many of the people at DR HandMade Strings are players themselves, they are able to use their playing experience, and their own obsession with music, as well as the highly valued input from many players throughout the world, to strive to continually increase the range of sounds available to guitar and bass players. They value the feedback that players are willing to share about how they can hear, feel and appreciate the difference. DR makes a wide range of types and models of guitar strings because they know that each one clearly provides a different sound and feel for the many styles of playing and players.

 

Guilded Testing

 

DR HandMade maintains copious amounts of guitars (especially Guild acoustics) for testing the guitar strings they produce. Why Guild guitars? First of all, they like them. Secondly, Mark Dronge, who founded DR HandMade Strings, is the son of Al Dronge, founder of Guild Guitars.

 

The Fine Art of Fine-Tuning

 

The goal at DR is to recreate the very best of old fashioned handmade craftsmanship and combine that with most technically advanced materials and/or coatings available to transcend the boundaries of the guitar string manufacturing process. This is done in the pursuit of great sounds to inspire unrivaled musicianship.
