String Section are a commercial string ensemble available for studio and live work in the UK and overseas.

Although using synthesised strings on a track offers a quick, cheaper alternative to hiring an orchestra, many producers still prefer to use high quality string players whenever possible – simply because the sound of ‘up and down bow’ and subtle articulations are still impossible to imitate artificially.  

By utilising the experience and understanding of professional orchestral musicians, booking a real string ensemble to play professionally written parts can bring a recording to life.   London has an enviable worldwide reputation for its high standard of session musicians – players who can sight read most music perfectly on a first attempt and who are used to working efficiently in the studio, making best use of valuable recording time. With complete flexibility over genre and a group of highly talented players, considerably less time is needed for recording than many producers anticipate.

String Section provide everything from a solo violinist through to a larger section with conductor if necessary. They can be contracted for arranging, notation, studio work and live appearances, for projects in the UK and collaboratively with producers from overseas.
