A clear and warm sound from this excellent new str
10 out of 11 found the following review helpful

Pros: Very pleased with this string which I'm trying for the first time. On my cello it produces a warm, clear, round sound with no hard edge, especially in the higher register. Also it required very little playing in and re-tuning once fitted.

Cons: None.

Goes admirably with wire covered gut lower strings
4 out of 4 found the following review helpful

Pros: I bought this string to replace a wire covered gut Eudoxa A. It blends very well with the lower wire covered gut strings and makes a bigger sound than did the Eudoxa. Most importantly it stays in tune which the Eudoxa most emphatically didn't.

Cons: It doesn't feel quite so pleasant under the fingers as the Eudoxa, but that is a very small price to pay for the improvements.

A lovely smooth A string
4 out of 5 found the following review helpful

Pros: I bought the Passione A string with a Warchal A string, to TRY OUT two different brands with my Evah Pirazzi DGC. I felt that I needed a change of A string from Evah A to get more tone. Passione A is lovely, like Eudoxa, it is a thicker string with lots of texture and a warm tone. I really liked it.

Cons: None, but I only had it on my cello for an hour, until I tried out the Warchal A and that was it ! They both did what I wanted on the cello, but Passione felt like I had to work a bit harder to draw out the sound. Warchal was an immediate response.

Other: I have to say that, as an A atring, Passione was a good choice for my cello. It went fantastically well with my Evahs, infact I preferred Passione A to Evah A, Evah was slightly more metallic. Passione was very smooth. Passione and Warchal are two very fine A strings, both with a feel of gut and Eudoxa about them.

Beautiful strings
4 out of 5 found the following review helpful

Pros: Warm & powerful A string - not too bright but lots of depth and overtones. Great with Passione D and Permanent C & G as a set...I find the fifths are always true with Pirastro strings. Break in time is very quick with Passione A & D...they're ready to go as soon as they're put on.

Cons: Nothing

Beautiful singing sound (Low tension version)
2 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: I am reviewing the low tension version of the A string, having used a medium previously and found it a little hard under the fingers, and it also seemed to exacerbate the wolf on my cello slightly. I am pleased to say that the low tension string does not have those problems, and if anything it frees up the sound more, to produce a lovely singing tone. As with other reviewers, I find it warm and without any shrillness or hard edge, but with plenty of power. And unlike another reviewer, it almost seems to get better in higher positions. It plays well immediately, and is very stable.

Cons: Nothing yet...

Other: As it is always difficult to describe a string using words in isolation, it may be helpful to offer a comparison with other popular brands. I would say that the Passione A is a little brighter than a standard Larsen, but with a similar core sound. It is less bright, and more colourful, than a standard Jargar or Versum A.

Lives up to its name.
