Chorda Violin Strings

Pirastro Chorda Violin Strings are the perfect choice for Baroque players or those looking to recreate the authentic sound of early music. Crafted from pure gut, these strings offer a warm, resonant tone that harkens back to the time of Stradivarius, Amati, and Guaneri. If you’re performing music by composers like Corelli, Vivaldi, or Bach, these are the strings designed for that era, delivering a sound that’s more open and less pointed than modern steel strings.

These tied-end strings, used 200 years ago, create a uniquely warm, less projecting sound that’s easy to play. While they may take some getting used to with a slightly different bowing technique, they offer a rich, authentic Baroque tone. The Cordaflex G string adds the necessary down pressure to balance your setup, making the entire instrument resonate as it was originally intended. Although the Cordaflexes may come at a higher price, they are worth the investment for a truly historical sound experience.
