The La Bella LTF-4A Low Tension Flexible Flats are 4-string bass strings (42-100) that reimagine what flatwounds can feel like. Traditional flats are known for high tension and stiffness; the LTF series strips that away while keeping the warm, smooth tone intact. At 42-100 gauge with low tension construction, these strings are remarkably comfortable and responsive, closer to the feel of light roundwounds than traditional flatwounds.

The flexibility allows for bending, vibrato, and dynamic expression that conventional flats struggle with. The tone is warm, smooth, and polished, with the controlled sustain and minimal finger noise that flatwound players love. If you've wanted to try flatwounds but been intimidated by the heavy feel, or if you're a flatwound player looking for relief from tension fatigue, the LTF-4A is the answer. Handcrafted in New York, this is La Bella's most modern take on the flatwound bass string.
