Description

SKU 78343PT

78343 Set Specifications: Set: The medium set contains the following strings: E-Silvery Steel 26, A-aluminium 13 1/2, D-silver 13 1/2,  G-silver 16 ½. Tailpiece: A-, D- and G-strings come with a ball-end. E-strings come with a loop-end. Gauges: A-string (13 ½), D-string (13 ½), G-string (16 ½) and E-string (0.26mm). Packaging: Straight Features: The sheep gut core of the Passione strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand. 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 strings possess a fascinating diversity of sounds, which allows musicians to alter their tone as desired. The sound is big and powerful. Very easy response on all levels of the dynamic range The accuracy of the contact point is easily manageable. Significantly reduced playing-in time: Passione strings are immediately playable as opposed to traditional gut strings. Altering the gauge by 1/4 PM changes the tension by 3%. Significantly increased tuning stability vs. traditional gut core strings Special Features: The length of coloured silk at the peg end of the Passione G-string is different than the length of the A- and D- strings. This has been done intentionally and is part of the construction of the G-string.   The special length of the G-string’s colour winding at the peg end prevents the string from breaking in the peg box.  At the latest after two to three days the stretching process will be finalized. 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.
