Features:

  • The sheep gut core of the Passione strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand.
  • The core sound is full, round and warm and has a complex overtone spectrum causing brilliance and clarity and a great power of projection.
  • Passione strings possess a fascinating diversity of sounds, which allows musicians to alter their tone as desired.
  • The sound is big and powerful.
  • Very easy response on all levels of the dynamic range
  • The accuracy of the contact point is easily manageable.
  • Significantly reduced playing-in time: Passione strings are immediately playable as opposed to traditional gut strings.
  • Altering the gauge by 1/4 PM changes the tension by 3%.
  • Significantly increased tuning stability vs. traditional gut core strings

Special Features:

The length of coloured silk at the peg end of the Passione G-string is different than the length of the A- and D- strings. This has been done intentionally and is part of the construction of the G-string.   The special length of the G-string’s colour winding at the peg end prevents the string from breaking in the peg box.  At the latest after two to three days the stretching process will be finalized.

As a result the silk winding will no longer reach over the nut.  We have made numerous tests with this special G on various violins all differing in size and the string has always fitted.  On some violins it takes longer, with other violins the string even fits from the beginning.
