Blind test, conducted with five other brands, proves the product’s greater durability and sonority

Leveraging the Italian-American DNA, Mazzaferro4 – Innovation for you -, the main reference in wire-based solutions in Latin America, comes to the market with its own brand of high performance musical strings. Hyper.PRO joins the high quality nylon strings produced by the company, which guarantee the high-pitched sound, to the metal-coated strings – bass sound – from one of the world’s most traditional manufacturers of musical strings, La Bella – based in the United States.

“Hyper.PRO was born out of a demand from the market, which has long seen the professional quality of our product. We decided to invest in a complete solution, with high added value. I’m talking about service, concept and specific solutions,” says Fabricio Saad, CMO of Mazzaferro4.

During the second half of 2018, a blind test, conducted with five other competing brands, proved that Hyper.PRO lasts up to 58 times longer than the other strings analyzed, without the loss of timbre and sonority being identified.

QUALITY

The harmony of the Hyper.PRO string set has a seal that is also recognized worldwide for its quality. Tony Acosta, classical musician, and owner of Luthier Music Corporation, based in the United States, is responsible for the balance between Mazzaferro and La Bella strings. “We seek the best in harmonization and material quality, and we guarantee a competitive value for our strings, with part of the production made here in Brazil, but adding Italian design and technology present in all Mazzaferro4 products,” explains Júnior Parollo, Product Manager at Hyper.PRO.

Hyper.PRO offers a national option of professional strings set, with values between 60 and 80 reais. “We fill a gap in the market, for those who need an intense change of strings, a concert performer for example, and have difficulty finding harmonious and quality strings in Brazil and, today, import them. Hyper.PRO comes to compete with foreign brands. It combines technique and value,” explains Parollo.

CULTURAL CONTEST

Several musicians and professionals in the area validate the quality of Hyper.PRO and have become endorsers of the brand. Among them: Glau Piva, Frank Hoenen and Carlos Iafelice Jr. (Carlos Iafelice Music Academy), Daniel Ruberti (Calango Brabo band), and Marcus Teixeira and Everton Gloeden (EMESP).

“We are presenting the product to professional musicians and their feedback is precious, because it will help us to always evolve,” reinforces Parollo.

To introduce the new product to the public, the Sou+Hyper cultural contest will award the author of the most creative video about what it means to be Hyper! Participants compete for a year of Hyper.PRO cords. All the details on how to participate are in the brand’s social networks.
