PIRASTRO
From Germany, Founded in 1798

It is the quality of our strings and rosin that makes PIRASTRO a well known name standing for reliability and beauty of sound. Many musicians of bowed classical instruments prefer PIRASTRO strings because of the string's ability to modulate and alter the tone. This allows the musician to create an individual sound and to evoke the special sound characteristics of their instrument.

From our beginnings as a small workplace of craftsmen in Offenbach near the Main River, a modern company has evolved, with over 150 employees. Today's production is based on computer-aided machines for precision manufacturing. In former times sheep gut was the sole raw material available, but now state-of-the-art synthetics and various steel and non-steel strands, such as gold, tungsten, silver or titanium are used.

Our research and development technicians work closely together with professional musicians in each stage of the development of our strings. Sophisticated research and development and quality control ensure PIRASTRO strings set an industry standard.

Musicians can choose from the most comprehensive string selection available, which offers gut strings such as Oliv, Eudoxa or Chorda, synthetic strings like Evah Pirazzi, Obligato or Tonica and steel strings such as Permanent, Flexocor or Chromcor.

    Excellent strings

    I have used the Obligato strings ever since they first came out and have never had a problem with them. Unlike some other brands, these have never broken on me, always hold their tuning well, ettle quickly, and have a wonderfully rich, smooth, and powerful sound on my violin. I do try different brands every now and then, but somehow I always come back to the Obligato. ... (See Full Review)

    Great product

    I would like to say that this product is wonderful. I have played for about eight years, and have been replacing my strings each year, using heliocore. The heliocore strings started breaking ore and more often, so I turned to these strings. They worked perfectly, and I have stockpiled sets. I love them, they give great sound, I would recommend them to anyone. If you are looking for great quality strings at a great price, you have found them in these strings. ... (See Full Review)
