Rotosound

Rotosound is a British string manufacturer founded in 1958 by James How in Sevenoaks, England. The company became world-famous in the 1960s after collaborating with John Entwistle of The Who to create the first commercially successful roundwound bass strings, a breakthrough that helped define the modern electric bass sound. Still family-owned and operated today, Rotosound continues to manufacture many of its strings in the UK and is known for its close ties to working musicians, classic British tone, and influential artists across rock, punk, and metal.
