Features: The sheep gut core of the Passione Solo strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand. Soloistic tone with strong power and brilliance. Extended range of dynamics and tone colours. Very powerful and brilliant sound with great projection. Significantly reduced playing-in time: Passione Solo strings are immediately playable other than traditional gut strings. Very easy response. The strings are slightly thicker than the medium gauge of the regular Passione strings. Special Features: The length of coloured silk at the peg end of the Passione Solo G string is different than the length of the A and D strings. This has been done intentionally by Pirastro, 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. 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 have made numerous tests with this special G string on various violins, all differing in size and the string has always fitted. On some violins it takes longer, with other violins the string fits from the beginning. This set contains: E Silvery Steel Loop End #0.26, A Gut/Aluminium, D Gut/Silver, G Gut/Silver. Pirastro Passione Solo strings are finely wound and polished, handmade gut strings. They have a soloistic tone with strong power and brilliance, with an extended range of dynamics and tonal colours.
