Richard Cocco Senior was born in Italy and came to the United States in 1951. Richard entered the string manufacturing business
at the time when the first electric bass guitars were introduced. Fascinated by this new instrument, he developed the Cocco
method of hand winding to make new strings which proved to be so fine that some of his first
customers were America's legendary electric bass guitar inventors.
After 10 years of collaboration, Mr. Cocco recognized Mr. Alfonso Annecchiarico as
the only one capable to continue his legacy. Today Alfonso Annecchiarico is the sole owner of R. Cocco Strings and
the only depositary of Richard's
secrets. The best materials and the same machines designed and developed by Richard Cocco Senior continue to
produce guitar strings that are exceptional. |
