Pirastro Passione Violin A String #13 Medium (Straight) 4/4

The latest in gut string technology!

These violin strings produce the warm yet powerful sound of gut without many of the other hassles with tuning stability/longevity etc usually associated with gut strings.

Features:
- The sheep gut core of the Passione strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand.
- The core sound is full, round and warm and has a complex overtone spectrum causing 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.
- The sound is big and powerful.
- Very wasy response on all levels of the dynamic range.
- The accuracy of the contact point is easily manageable.
- Significantly reduced playing-in time: Passione strings are immediately playable compared to other traditional gut strings.
- Altering the gauge by 0.25PM changes the tension by 3%.

Special Features:
The length of the coloured peg end of the Passione G-string is different than the length of the A- and D-strings. This has been done intentionally and is part of the construction of the G-string. The special length of the G-string’s colour winding at the peg end prevents the string from breaking in the peg box. At the latest after two to three days the stretching process will be finalised.
As a result the silk winding will no longer reach over the nut. Pirastro Germany has made numerous tests with this special G on various violins all differing in size and the string has always fitted. On some violins it takes longer, with other violins the string even fits from the beginning.
