Pirastro Passione Cello Strings

After the successful introduction of our PASSIONE set for violin PIRASTRO present the PASSIONE G and C Strings for Cello.

Over the past years cello steel core strings have more and more replaced gut core strings. The reasons are obvious: tuning stability, quick response and easy handling. However, these advantages are gained at the expense of beauty of sound, sonority and complexity of sound. For the first time, we have succeeded to develop a string that offers a great combination of playability and easy response up to the upper register with the sound beauty of gut core strings.

The lower string tension allows the instrument to open up and the upper register can vibrate easily and freely. In addition, the tuning stability and playing-in-time has been significantly improved in comparison to traditional gut core strings.

The PASSIONE G and C strings have a brilliant and powerful sound with excellent projection. At the same time their tone can be warm, round and complex. The diversity of sounds is ravishing. Passione strings offer a startling flexibility and the diameter is small allowing the string to respond quickly.

Both strings are available in three gauges with a difference of 1/2 PM in diameter. The subtle differences in gauge make it possible to respond to the individual tension requirements of the instruments. Especially top quality instruments are more sensitive to differences in gauge and one gauge does not suit each instrument.

Pirastro offers now PASSIONE Cello A and D strings as well. Both are made of stainless steel and available in three gauges.
