A Fine Story to Tell.
15/03/2006
While acoustic duo Nizlopi, are celebrating the imminent release of their new single ‘Girls’ (www.girlsvideo.co.uk), here at Barnes and Mullins we are celebrating the partnership of Nizlopi’s John Parker with Thomastik-Infeld strings.
Having played Double Bass since the age of 18 and studying under Jon Thorne, another Thomastik-Infeld player, John and guitarist Luke, have seen rocketing success, getting to Number 1 before Christmas 2005 with their highly acclaimed ‘JCB song’.
“To get Nizlopi’s Phat Folk Hip-Hop sound, I will only use Thomastik strings”, so said John, and he’s not alone. He joins an ever growing number of musicians who make this choice including rock heavyweights The Strokes.

Fractional Vision
23/02/2006
Thomastik-Infeld Vision Orchestral Strings are now available in fractional sizes, namely ¾, ½, ¼, 1/8th, 1/16th. Since their launch, Vision strings have offered the optimum tone and durability required by ensemble players, and now students can get in on the action too. Highly regarded for their ease of play, their stability and the speed at which they ‘settle in’, the smaller sizes are still remarkably affordable.
