The Future of Coated Strings Are Not Coated

Welcome to the next generation of extended-life strings. La Bella Vapor Shield™ strings are like no other string on the market because the surface of the string is modified during the treatment process. Coated strings are now a thing of the past.

No Flakes, No Cracks, No Peeling. No Muffled Tone

Using a highly sophisticated Ionic Vapor Process™ developed by Acoustic Science, proprietary compounds are activated in a glow discharge electromagnetic plasma, and the surface of all strings are modified. The result is a string protected from dirt, oil, residue, and tarnishing. Most importantly, string playability and life are extended without flaking or compromising tone.

The La Bella Vapor Shield Difference

The technology behind La Bella Vapor Shield™ is unlike any other string. The entire surface and full length of all strings are treated with a nucleated polymer vapor material that requires hours of complex prep and processing; no spraying or dipping. The results are unmatched:

Tone

Brighter than typical coated strings and non-treated strings. Unlike traditional coated strings, Vapor Shield™ plain steel and wound strings are treated, resulting in an even tone.

Feel

The Ionic Vapor Process™ improves the string's surface properties, resulting in smoother plain steel and wound strings vs. both typical coated and non-treated strings.

Lifespan

Lasts 5x longer than non-treated strings.

Endurance

No flaking after extended play. Impervious to grime, tarnishing and oil residue.
