The Thomastik BB111 Bebop Roundwound 11‑47 set is one of the few roundwound strings that can truly be called a jazz string. Closely related to the JAZZ SWING series in both materials and construction, these strings feature a smaller gauge roundwound nickel winding that delivers a strong, fundamental‑rich jazzy tone with more presence than traditional flatwounds.
Designed for guitarists who want authentic jazz warmth with a touch of extra edge, the BB111 set provides clear articulation and a full tonal range. The high strings are brass plated plain steel for added brightness, while the wound strings use nickel roundwound construction for depth and resonance. This makes them an excellent alternative for players seeking traditional jazz feel with modern versatility.
