That sounds like a sweet idea! You could try contacting D'Addario:

Most times, there are legal hurdles involved in submitting product ideas to companies, which might be the case here. If you could design the string and obtain a patent for it, you'd be in much better shape for getting your idea picked up by a string manufacturer.

One more thing. It astounds me that no one is interested in a string that will revolutionize the ABG.

Why are corporate types so obtuse? If you make this string (You would be stupid not to) and sell it all I ask is that you donate a small % of sales to a 501 C (3) that is a support and advocacy group for brain injury victims.

Why wouldn't you want a string that would allow a ABG to compete with most six strings?

The fact is most of the stuff that is sold to musicians is gimmicky crap. A better string is something we could really use. As it stand now ABG strings are not very good.

If Daddario is interested I will tell them how to manufacture this string using the same machinery they use for conventional strings. This will be the hottest selling ABG string ever.

I have written to to other string manufacturers about a string I am developing that will make an ABG (Acoustic Bass Guitar) loud enough to compete with a six string guitar but none of them are interested.

This string would be easy to manufacture.

I would like to speak with a string company about this.
