PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Choose the perfect tension Pirastros gut cello strings come in three amounts of tension for each string. This is different from the metal and synthetic core strings which usually have three tension levels. Gut strings by Pirastro are measured in PM (Pirastro Measurements) 1 PM is equivalent to 0.05mm diameter so a 14 PM string is 0.7mm in diameter. Strings for cello tend to be measured in 0.5 PM increments this results in a 6% change in tension for every 0.5 PM. Oliv cello strings are all measured in PM. The A-string has a range of 22 PM to 23 PM the D-string ranges from 26.5 PM to 27.5 PM the G-string has a range of 28 PM to 29 PM and the C-string ranges from 36 PM to 37 PM. With these ranges you can choose the best tension for your playing and your instrument. About Pirastro Pirastro was founded in 1798 as "Giorgio Pirazzi and Sons". It all started with Giorgio Pirazzi who learned the craft of string making across Italy and then moved to Offenbach Germany and began his company. Nearly a century later Pirazzis grandson invited his friend Theodore Strobel to join him as a business partner. They combined the beginnings of their names together to create Pirastro. Today Pirastro is still run by the Pirazzi family and makes high-quality strings that are used by musicians all over the world and at the very highest standards of performance. Whats at Gear4music?
