Pirastro No.1 E Violin String

The PIRASTRO E string for violin the “No.1 - The First Universal E-String” is a steel string wound with a tiny chrome steel wire, so thin that one cannot see that this string is a wound E string; the diameter of this string is almost as thin as a plain E string.

The aim of this string design is to provide the violinist with an E string that can be combined with any other string set, but it is most important that this E string also eliminates open E string whistling. The easy response and the noble sound of the PIRASTRO No.1 E violin string is remarkable. Moreover, it is important to know that the PIRASTRO No.1 is well suitable for musicians suffering from hand perspiration as it is wound with chrome steel instead of aluminium; many musicians and luthiers already attest to this fact.
