Pirastro Passione Violin String Set 4/4 (E - Ball End)

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 easy 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 other than traditional gut strings.

Special Features: 

• The length of coloured silk at the peg end of the Passione 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 Ball End #0.26, A Gut/Aluminium #13.5, D Gut/Silver #13.5, G Gut/Silver #16.5. 
Pirastro Passione strings are finely wound and polished, handmade gut strings. They have a powerful sound, with a very easy response. Suitable for professional and historical performances, they offer increased tuning stability versus traditional gut core strings.
