Pirastro Eudoxa Cello A String — Singing Top End with Classic Gut Warmth (Medium)

Bring the upper register of your cello to life with the Pirastro Eudoxa A string. Built on a hand-finished gut coreand precision aluminum winding, the A delivers a lyrical, vocal quality that feels unmistakably traditional yet performs with modern confidence. Expect a sweet, focused treble that never turns brittle, a wealth of complex overtones, and an elegant presence that projects in the hall while blending effortlessly in section work.

Detailed Characteristics
Eudoxa’s gut core gives the A string its signature rich tone and subtle color gradients—perfect for cantabile lines, Classical and Romantic repertoire, and period-informed performance. The aluminum winding keeps the response quick under the bow with a clean note start at lower bow pressures, helping you shape phrases with ease. Players who find steel A strings too bright will love the creamy, singing center and refined brilliance.

Playability & Feel
Under the left hand, the A feels supple and forgiving, encouraging a relaxed vibrato and fluid shifts. On the bow, it offers immediate engagement, wide dynamic range, and secure articulation in fast passagework. After a brief settling-in period typical of gut, tuning becomes reassuringly steady, with stable intonation across positions.
