Cello strings Pirastro Oliv

Pirastro Oliv cello strings are modern gut strings and are a development over the popular Eudoxa gut strings. They have a sheep gut core and thus a warm, rich sound with plenty of overtones, yet they are more steadily tuned than Eudoxa strings and have a better projection. For violinists that are looking for a warm gut sound on their modern instrument, the Oliv strings are the way to go!

• The sheep gut core of the Oliv strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand
• Musicians such as Gary Hoffman use Oliv strings as they offer the possibility "to explore the remotest corners of sound"
• The sound is brilliant; Oliv strings offer the typical beautiful sound of gut string
• The tone is rich and complex
• Altering the gauge by 1/2 PM changes the tension by 4%
• The A string has a ball end, the D, G and C string have a gut knot

The standard set consists of following strings:

• A string: gut, aluminum wound 22 1/2 (medium), 23 (heavy), 22 (light)
