Professional quality gut core strings. Medium gauge only.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-on These strings are simply gorgeous!!
Pros: I find Passione Solo the most beautiful string on the market today. I'm from a generation who always played on gut strings and in any case I always believe it wrong to stress an 200 year old violin with high tension strings for which it was never ever designed. Passione Solo are warm, deep, powerful when needed and very, very responsive through a whole range of expression. They are simply gorgeous to play on, beautifully matched througout the entire range and worth every penny. Open strings resonate well in sympathy with stopped notes offering a wonderful depth to vibrato.
Cons: There is little I would ever dislike. You have to realise that gut strings will never be the sort you'd only tune once a year!! I marvel at players who expect their fiddle can be played straight from the case. You do need to keep an ear on tuning...but once the instrument has stabilised to temperature and humidity, you can rely on these strings. Quite obviously it's often unacceptable to retune between movements in a concert. These are the most stable gut strings I've found.
Other: I simply love them and find the 'medium' sets currently available perfect throughout the range.
