Description
Pirastro Oliv viola 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 Ilya Gringolts 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 1/4 PM changes the tension by 3%
- The A and D string have a ball end, the G and C string have a gut knot
The standard set consists of following strings:
- A string: gut, aluminum wound 13 3/4 (medium)
- D string: gut, gold-aluminum wound 16 1/4 (medium)
- G string: gut, gold-silver wound 17 (medium)
- C string: gut, tungsten/wolfram-silver wound 19 3/4 (medium)
Extra options:
- D string silver wound: a richer sound with more overtones and a better response than the gold-aluminum wound D string
- D, G and C string stiff: a darker and more powerful sound than the regular version
