Description

Soloist standard. Aluminium on natural gut, medium tension only.

Professional quality gut core strings. Medium tension only. Various metals wound on natural gut. Steel E.

Set of four strings in medium tension, ball or loop end E. The modern gut cored string. Old sound, modern stability.

These incredible strings are the latest strings from Pirastro designed to combine the best qualities of synthetic cored strings with the traditional gut sound. True gut sound with plenty of volume plus excellent tonal stability. Recommended rosin: Oliv/Evah Pirazzi.

The gut core of Passione strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand. The core sound is full, round and warm, with a complex overtone spectrum combining brilliance and clarity and a great power of projection.

Passione strings possess a fascinating diversity of sounds, which allows musicians to alter their tone as desired. Big and powerful sound with very easy response on all levels of the dynamic range Passione strings have a significantly reduced playing in time compared to other traditional gut strings.

Passione Solo strings are designed to produce extra brilliance and power for the soloist. They have a slightly higher tension than medium tension Passione strings.

Gut cored Pirastro string. Please note that these strings are very delicate and have a shorter and unpredictable life span compared to other strings. We do not recommend their use by beginners or that they be fitted to instruments not set up by trained and experienced craftsmen.

Highly recommended
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Really great string. Plenty of nuance without sacrificing power. Stable once broken in/fully stretched. Currently used in conjunction with Oliv-Stiff GD and Oliv E.

Cons: Previously had one snap on me spontaneously. No wild temperature/humidity swings. Was offered a replacement by Pirastro.

Really Happy with Oassione Solo A string

Pros: I have recently changed to Passione Solo strings from Evah Purrazzi Gold and though I loved the Evahs I prefer these I find them so Beautiful and easy to play full of warmth with lots of undertones and great projection. Im very pleased with the A atring and I find it lasted me longer than the Evah A strings I have tried. Im reslly happy with the Passione Solo A string and as part of the Passione Solo set works wonderfully well and balsnced on my JayHaide violin

Cons: Nothing

Needs detuning.

Pros: A replacement for a string that broke in storage for a few weeks despite being detuned.

Cons: It broke!

Other: These should be detuned at least a tone before going on holiday.
