Pirastro Pizzicato Bass Strings ( D )

These newly designed gut strings are for musicians playing mainly pizzicato. Pirastro has developed a specific spinning technology which results in excellent pizzicato sound properties and an outstanding playability.

Its core is made from selected gut, which is wound with a silver plated copper wire or with nylon. The smooth surface of the strings results in an excellent feel.

Pizzicato strings enable the player to produce a brilliant and powerful tone, longest possible sustain, at the same time allowing flexibility. The projection is such that even in a live jamming session the double bass keeps up with the other instruments.

In constrast to most gut strings, the new Pizzicatos stay well in tune and have a long durability. The light tension and the evenness across the strings allows the instrument to swing naturally so that it can develop its own beautiful sound. Thus the player gains an increased volume, greater modulation and more brilliance without harshness.
