Standard Dean markley blue steel bass strings if that's any help
Well, for one, string bass strings are a lot longer than electric bass strings. I wouldn't recommend putting string bass strings on an electric bass and vice versa.
Piano strings are made of steel wire and the hammers and dampers are made of wood and felt. Piano tuning pins are made of metal. The frame can be made of wood or metal and the bridge can be made of wood or metal.
Yes. The steel bass strings will have a braided nylon core. If in doubt buy a new set of classical guitar strings.
Elixir I've seen for 14 dollars Canadian .. D'Addario Chromes where pretty overpriced at 13 and than coated strings are always more. bass strings are like twice the price of those starting off around 40 dollars for dean markley blue steel bass strings.
They usually have some kind of rope core that has steel wound around that. Here's a site that tells you about how Corelli strings are made. http://www.savarez.fr/anglais/corelli-double-bass.html

On an electric bass, they could be chrome plated steel, nickel plated steel, stainless steel, or a nickel/steel alloy. On an acoustic bass, they can also be steel plated with bronze or phosphor/bronze. The package the strings came in should say what metals they are made from since each metal composition has a different sound characteristic.
It can vary. For electric bass it is mostly commonly steel core wound with brass or steel.
In an orchertra, the strings instruments are the violin, viola, chelo and the double bass. The piano has strings but it is not classified as a string intrument. It is a keyboard instrument such as the spinet, clavichord and the organ.
Guitar strings are made of many different substances. One of the most common is metal. Often a bass guitar will have copper-bound steel strings.

"E" string, and "A", and "D", "G" string. History of the strings: Prior to the mid-20th century, double bass strings were usually made of gut, but since that time, steel strings have largely replaced gut strings, because steel strings hold their pitch better and yield more volume when played with the bow.[6] Gut strings are also more vulnerable to changes of humidity and temperature, and they break much more easily than steel strings. Gut strings are nowadays mostly used by bassists who perform in baroque ensembles, rockabilly bands, traditional blues bands, and bluegrass bands [7] Gut strings create the dark, "thumpy" sound heard on 1940s and 1950s recordings. The late Jeff Sarli, a blues upright bassist, stated that "starting in the 1950s, they began to reset the necks on basses for steel strings", and double bass players switched from gut strings to steel strings.[8] Rockabilly and bluegrass bassists also prefer gut because it is much easier to perform the "slapping" upright bass style (in which the strings are percussively slapped and clicked against the fingerboard) with gut strings than with steel strings. (For more information on slapping, see the sections below on Modern playing styles, Double bass in bluegrass music, Double bass in jazz, and Double bass in popular music). The change from gut to steel has also affected the instrument's playing technique over the last hundred years, because playing with steel strings allows the strings to be set up closer to the fingerboard, and, additionally, steel strings can be played in higher positions on the lower strings and still produce clear tone. The classic 19th century Franz Simandl method does not utilize the low E string in higher positions because with older gut strings set up high over the fingerboard, the tone was not clear in these higher positions. However, with modern steel strings, bassists can play with clear tone in higher positions on the low E and A strings, particularly when modern lighter-gauge, lower-tension steel strings (e.g., Corelli/Savarez strings) are used.
Many different materials: gut, nylon, steel, chromesteel, copper, bronze.
