Description

The Pirastro Oliv G String offers violinists a choice between two expertly crafted variations: Stiff Gold-Silver and Regular Gut-Silver. Both are finely wound and polished by hand to deliver the rich, complex sound expected from gut strings.

Stiff Gold-Silver G Strings are designed for players seeking higher tension and increased projection. Available in gauges from 15 1/2 to 16 1/4, these strings provide a brilliant, powerful sound, ideal for soloists and performers requiring more power.
Regular Gut-Silver G Strings deliver a more traditional, warm tone with excellent overtones and smooth response. These strings, available in gauges from 15 1/4 to 16 1/4, offer a balanced sound perfect for orchestral or chamber music settings.

With a variety of gauges to choose from, musicians can find the ideal tension and tonal balance for their specific instrument and playing preferences.
