Overview
Passione for Cello
Pirastro Passione brings together a full, rounded upper register and the colour and flexibility of traditional gut lower strings. Choose A, D, G or C individually for 4/4 cello, or select the complete Set.
Construction
Steel A and D
Passione A and D have a single-filament steel core wound with chrome steel. They offer a warm, rounded sound with a broad spectrum of overtones, a clear and precise upper register, excellent response and a smooth transition between the two strings.
Gut G and C
Passione G and C use sheep-gut cores made, wound and polished by hand. The G is wound with chrome steel and the C with tungsten. Both are powerful and brilliant, yet flexible and quick to respond. Their relatively small diameter supports comfortable playability and a shorter settling-in period than traditional gut-core strings.

Complete Set
Four strings, one component-tracked Set
The complete 4/4 Set contains one each of:
- Passione A Medium
- Passione D Medium
- Passione G 28
- Passione C 32
This is a mixed-construction Set: steel A and D with gut G and C. Its available quantity follows the four individual strings, and selling one Set deducts one of each component.
Choosing your strings
How do I choose a set or individual strings?
Use the options above to match your instrument, size and string specification. Choose the quantity for each item you need before adding it to your cart.
Do I need to add individual strings as well as a set?
A set already includes its listed strings. Add an individual string only if you want an extra or a different string. Check the selected set’s contents before ordering.
What does “Available online only” mean?
That option is not currently held at our Auckland store and is available for delivery. It is not available for immediate store collection. Availability can differ between options, so check the label beside each item.
