Description

Aluminium on natural gut. The new gut string from Pirastro. Warm, colourful sound. High level of tuning stability.

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.

Pirastro gut string tensions are measured in units of PM (Pirastro Measurement) and refer to the diameter of the string. 1PM = 0.05mm, so gauge 14PM = 0.7mm diameter. The tension of the string varies by 3% for each gauge.

A lovely quality string.

Pros: A gorgeous mellow tone.

Cons: Nothing I did not like.

Other: Will perhaps better suit either something nearer a "period" performance and/or possibly a better violin than I have.

warm gutsy colourful

Pros: Warm gutsy colourful sound. Blends beautifully with the Oliv/Obligato Gold E.

Cons: Did not quite blend in with my light tension Dominant D and G, but I think if I get the extra light tension, this will do the trick.
