GUT STRINGS WITH THE STABILITY OF SYNTHETICS

11th July 2007

The new Passione gut core violin string set from Pirastro combines traditional gut and modern synthetic technology, resulting in reduced playing-in-time and increased tuning stability compared to classic gut strings plus all the beauty of the gut sound.

Passione strings have a lovely diversity of sounds, allowing musicians to alter their tone as desired - something that is only really possible with gut core strings. To quote Pirastro: “The core sound is full, round and warm and has a complex overtone spectrum causing brilliance and clarity and a great power of projection. The set is well balanced and the response is easy on all levels of the dynamic range.” We couldn’t put it better ourselves....

“Gorgeous sound......more expressive with less physical effort”

Professional violinists who have tried out the new strings have remarked on their “gorgeous sound quality” and the fact that they are “fun to play, and make me sound more expressive with less physical effort”.

We currently have Passione available in medium gauge, the G and D are silver wound and the A is aluminium wound. These all have a ball end to make fitting easier. The E string is Silvery Steel and available as ball or loop end.
