Flatwound Strings for Bass and Guitars

Flatwound Guitar Strings and More

Whether you swear by flat-wound strings or just want to try them out, Strings and Beyond has the strings you need. Although round-wound strings are most common, flat-wound guitar strings are often used in blues, jazz and vintage rock. How should you decide whether to buy flatwound vs. roundwound strings? Get flatwounds if you want a dark, mellow and more rounded tone. The smooth, low-friction design is great for sliding, and flatwound strings often last longer since there aren’t any ridges for debris to get stuck in.

Get a Classic Sound with Flatwounds

We stock all the leading manufacturers of flat-wound guitar strings, including La Bella, D’Addario, Pyramid, Thomastik-Infeld and Rotosound. This includes a large assortment of flat-wound guitar strings for acoustic and electric guitars in assorted gauges to further fine-tune the tone and feel. Flatwound bass strings are often preferred by beginners because they are much easier on the fingers than roundwound bass strings. Many well-known bassists use them as well, including Paul McCartney, Bootsy Collins, John Patitucci and Geddy Lee.

Don’t stop at getting your guitar strings flatwound, either. You will find flatwound strings for mandolins, mandolas and violins in our catalog. Order a flat-wound string set or buy single flatwound strings to experiment with custom gauges.
