SUNBEAMS
MADE IN THE USA!
|
Sunbeams are another step forward on a continuing path for players who constantly seek to upgrade their skills and tools to achieve musical satisfaction. Sunbeams are the next generation of nickel-plated bass strings as they are wound on round cores. Sunbeams are a step forward for the traditional player and the advanced exponent of fretless bass player, both of whom want brightness and warmth. Sunbeams feature the easily recognizable feel and flexibility of DR round core construction, with nickel warmth, softness of feel and increased response to magnetic pickups due to the sensitive magnetic content (compared to stainless steel) of the nickel plated wrap wire. |

PRODUCT DEMO
THE DR STRINGS STORY
THE FINE ART OF FINE TUNING
In 1989, DR Strings re-introduced hand-made round core string making to the general market. It requires a lot of skill, time and care, but we feel its worth it because we can hear the difference between a handmade string and a machine made string.
If we can hear it, of course players will hear it.
SETTING STANDARDS
TRAINING CRAFTSMEN
Our winders take at least 6 months to learn their craft. It takes that long to develop a feel, an understanding, an instinct to make the constant tiny adjustments that only a hand can make. At each stage we test the wire, we check that it is pristine when it arrives from our suppliers, we inspect each and every wrap during production to ensure its perfect, and then again as we hand-package it.
MADE IN USA WITH ONLY AMERICAN MATERIAL
HIGHEST QUALITY
We use only the finest American materials starting with the wire, to the ball ends, to the packaging.
When someone sees the DR logo, that is what they are getting, the best of everything.
When you put DR strings on a guitar, youre not only looking for the response of a fresh string,
youre looking to hear something extra that you didnt hear before, and thats our goalto give you more.
DR was born from guitars. Al Dronge, the founder of Guild Guitars, always wanted to add a string making facility.
Mark Dronge took the lessons he learned from his father and applied them to DR.
DESIGN & INNOVATION
ALWAYS IMPROVING & INVENTING
We are players at DR and we are encouraged to come up with new ideas. In our testing lab, we experiment and design unique and different strings. Quietly, we have been one of the most innovative string companies out there.
We guarantee that playerswill hear and feel the difference when they playDR handmade strings.
We cant guarantee that you will like the differencewe hope players do.
This is one of the reasons why we make so many models, for a small company.
We listen and we understand what the players are after and we go for it.
