A very nice arco string but not quite my choice of a jazz string, they felt a little thin and wiry similar to many of the Correlli. They lacked in pitch center and didn't give a good clean fundamental..  With a bow they really speak.

The Upton Bass opinion; " A very nice arco string but not quite my choice of a jazz string, they felt a little thin and wiry similar to many of the Correlli. They lacked in pitch center and didn't give a good clean fundamental..  With a bow they really speak. . I wouldn't call them the new standard for arco or pizz. I'll stick with my Spiro's for that quintessential Jazz sound, if you need that Jazz sound and arco I'd go for the dominant"

THE DESCRIPTION BELOW IS FROM THE MANUFACTURER

Belcanto double bass strings, new from the makers of Spirocore, set a new standard for excellence for arco and hybrid performance. Wound on a distinctively twisted steel rope core, Belcanto strings respond quickly to the bow yet are soft under your fingers. They have a dark, warm tone which resonates exceedingly well with a wide range of color and nuance. Belcanto strings are easy to blend and have outstanding projection and sustain using moderate effort. They settle in quickly, intonate extremely well and have exceptional tuning stability. In addition, pizzicato expression is open and free, making them an excellent choice for players who need hybrid strings.
