Richard Cocco Sr. was born in Italy and came to the United States in 1951. Richard entered the string manufacturing business when the first electric basses appeared on the market. Fascinated by this new instrument, he developed the Cocco hand-winding method to create new strings. These proved to be of such high quality that some of his first customers became legendary pioneers of the American electric bass.
After ten years of collaboration, Mr. Cocco recognized Alfonso Annecchiarico as the only one who could carry on his legacy. Today, Alfonso Annecchiarico is the sole owner of R. Cocco Strings and the only keeper of Richard's secrets. The finest materials and the machines developed by Richard Cocco Sr. continue to produce exceptional strings!
