About Peter Infeld
Balanced between warm and brilliant, responsive at every dynamic.
Peter Infeld (PI) strings are defined by their rich spectrum of sound colours and wide dynamic range. They strike a delicate balance between warm and brilliant, sounding powerful when playing at loud dynamics and sweet when playing softly. Instant bow response and superior tuning stability make them a dependable choice for professional and advanced players.
The E string is available in three options: Tin (standard brilliance), Gold (warmer and rounder top end), and Platinum (maximum power and projection for soloists).
