Frequently asked
Gold Label violin strings, in short.
What is the tonal character of Gold Label strings?
Bright gut sound with easy playability. The steel E is one of the most popular in the industry for its brilliance and power. The A, D, and G strings use sheep gut cores for the classic bright gut character, with a warm, full-bodied centre.
How do Gold Label strings compare to Eudoxa or Oliv?
Gold Label is the more accessible entry into Pirastro's gut string range. Eudoxa is warmer and more historically voiced. Oliv is the premium gut string with a more complex, rich character and gold windings. Gold Label occupies the bright, accessible end of the range.
How long do gut strings last?
Gut strings generally have a shorter lifespan than synthetic strings. Replace when tone becomes unreliable or the string surface shows wear. Keep the instrument in a stable environment and wipe rosin off after each session.
Are these authentic Pirastro strings?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Pirastro through the official supply chain. Faulty strings are replaced in line with manufacturer warranty.
