Kalium Strings are designed specifically to expand and push downward the tuning of electric bass guitars. These are not guitar strings made bigger – they are bass strings made better. They are made in a greater variety of gauges to provide a solid foundation for greater exploration of the depths of bass tunings.

No other manufacturer makes strings like we do.

Kalium Strings are designed specifically to expand the breadth and capacities of electric and acoustic stringed instruments.

Whether you play bass or guitar, we offer you a greater choice of gauges and variety of lengths than any other manufacturer in the world. This allows you to put your instrument in the octave and tuning of your choice with the sound and feel you demand of your string set.

Taking three measurements will insure success in selecting the correct string length for your instrument.

Use a felt tip pen on a string that is mounted on your guitar and mark the string where it crosses the saddle, where it rests in the nut, and where it touches the tuning post. The length from the ball end to the nut will determine how long the thickest part of the string must be. The distance from the nut to the tuning post will determine where the tapered section must end.

If there is only a single size string available for purchase it is a universal length and not at risk of being too long or too short. Our manufacturing specifications will help you select the correct string length for your instrument.

ALWAYS remember to put a 90 degree bend in any string BEFORE you cut it to a shorter length.
