Description
Pirastro Oliv violin strings are the standard by which other violin gut strings are measured. Long known for their superior quality of warmth and depth, Pirastro Oliv violin strings offer the musician purity of sound and a complexity found only in finely made gut strings.
The D and G are also available in the Rigid style. They produce a darker and warmer tone than the standard Olive D and G.
Tone: Complex warmth while maintaining a clean focused sound
Playability: Easy response
Stability: The A, D and G are affected by temperature and climate change
Pirastro Oliv violin string composition:
- E string: Gold steel
- A string: Aluminum over gut
- D string: Gold-Aluminum over gut
- G string: Gold-Silver over gut
Olive Rigid D and G:
- D string: Gold-Aluminum over gut
