The strings of the Optima Chrome Flatwound series impress with fast and stable intonation as well as great durability.
Due to the flatwound winding, there is very little noise caused by movements of the fingers. The strings produce a low-mid tone with less treble than comparable roundwound strings (e.g. Optima Chrome) and are excellent for discreet playing.
Optima uses a special alloy for the flat wound wire, which is ideally suited for optimal tone pickup.
The Chrome Flatwound series includes strings for electric bass that are also suitable for acoustic basses.
By the way, these strings, like all OPTIMA strings, are 100% made in Germany.
Bass material: hexagonal steel core with chrome flat wire wound.
The company with the golden touch.
Founded in 1920 in Markneukirchen/Vogtland still under the name "Maxima", OPTIMA developed into one of the best-known and best-selling string brands in Germany.
In addition to the outstanding products made of classic materials, it was a very special innovation that made the traditional German brand world famous: the 24K GOLD STRINGS.
International stars of the music and guitar scene, such as Frank Zappa, John Entwhistle, the Ramones, Earl Slick, Randy Hansen, Randy Bachmann and of course Brian May, made the fine strings an integral part of their sound.
This high-end quality, whether with gold or without, is offered by the OPTIMA brand for all areas of stringed instruments as well as for all modern plucked instruments, from classical to acoustic and electric guitars.
In addition, Optima offers a comprehensive range of strings for traditional instruments such as zither, dulcimer or Tyrolean folk harp under the brand name BERGFEE.
No matter for which instrument, OPTIMA is the optimal string.
