Special Features

As a result the silk winding
will no longer reach over the nut.  We have made numerous tests with
this special G on various violins all differing in size and the string
has always fitted.  On some violins it takes longer, with other
violins the string even fits from the beginning.

Since some time, a new trend
evolved especially amongst young classical violinists who search for a
full and complex sound to start to experiment with violin strings with a
gut core. Baroque strings or gut strings for a historical set up are
not meant here, but modern gut strings for the classical violinist in
the tradition of our Eudoxa and Oliv strings. As the leading gut string
manufacturer in the world PIRASTRO has now picked up this trend and
developed a new gut core string called Passione.

Our development of the Passione aimed at reducing the
playing-in-time of traditional gut strings and to increase their tuning
stability without loosing the beauty of the gut sound. The gentle
processing of the gut core is key to the conservation of the ravishing
beauty of gut strings’ sound. Our expertise has been developed since
1798 and has been carefully protected over generations within PIRASTRO’s
employees.

The combination in manufacturing of modern synthetic and
traditional gut technology made it possible to retain the sound beauty
of gut core strings and to increase significantly the tuning stability
and the break-in-time. Passione strings possess a fascinating diversity
of sounds, which allows musicians to alter their tone as desired. 

To such an outstanding extent this is still only possible
with gut core strings.  The core sound is full, round and warm and has a
complex overtone spectrum causing brilliance and clarity and a great
power of projection. Passione’s sound can be big and powerful as well
as gentle and tender. Passione is a modern reliable gut string for the
demanding violin professional. The set is well-balanced; the response is
easy on all levels of the dynamic range. The accuracy of contact point
is easily manageable, similar to Obligato, Wondertone Solo and Evah
Pirazzi.

Gauges and technical information:

The plurality of gauges allows musicians to choose their
preferred gauge and makes it possible to respond to the individual
tension requirements of their instruments.

As a rule of thumb:

• The thicker a string is, the more powerful is the sound and the higher is the tension.

• A thinner string will produce a brighter sound, however this does not mean that the sound is weaker or looses power.

There is no need to change the height of the bridge for using Passione strings.
