Innovation Braided Orchestral Strings are particularly well suited for bowing, as they have a smooth chrome steel tape winding. But the core is braided nylon, which creates a more “old-timey” flavour to their pizzicato tone. So they would also work well for someone looking for a good bluegrass string.
They have a deep, dark tone, which takes a lot of the brashness out of bowing. And the tension is optimized for bowing as well, when they were designed, Innovation focused on the ease of sound production and articulation both for pizzicato and arco.
Unlike other Innovation Strings, the Innovation Honey Jazz uses a solid core with a chrome steel winding. This maintains the gut-like vibe of the other Innovation sets but with string tension and feel more akin to steel core strings.
Very responsive under a bow, the Honey Jazz strings have a slightly darker tone than comparable steel core strings. They are also known to have a great “jazz” pizzicato attack, that will growl a little bit when you dig in. Those looking for an “old school” jazz tone with easy access to arco need to look no further than our Honey Jazz.
Created in 2017 as a way to combine Innovation’s signature pizzicato sound with more arco-friendly qualities, the Polychrome Hybrid set delivers on all fronts!
Polychromes have a great feel under the fingers; slightly soft with a little give. The pizzicato one is gut-like in its timbre, with a strong fundamental. They bow VERY nicely, with a big and warm sound that is not too harsh, with excellent volume.
For the player that is doing a lot of performing in various genres with different tonal needs for each one, the Innovation Polychrome Hybrids will fit the bill nicely!
