OFFLINE Pirastro Permanent Cello A String, Heavy Gauge Overview
Pirastro Permanent cello strings offer a warm and rounded sound with a clear spectrum of overtones. A solid steel core in the top two strings provides the brightness and projection required while the rope core of the lower strings provides a warm and powerful timbre with a short decay. These materials also result in exceptional tuning stability and a quick play-in time. The metal construction also makes these suitable for electric cellos which use magnetic pickups.

View Full DescriptionMaterials
The A and D strings have a single filament steel core wound with chrome steel. This core is great for the upper strings as it provides more brightness and projection. The lower two strings have a rope steel core which consists of multiple strands of steel intertwined into a strong yet flexible "rope". They are also wound with titanium which provides warmth and power that is appropriate for the lower strings.
Soloist
Permanents are also available in a soloist version. These are made of the same materials as the standard Permanents but simply are made to a lower tension. Lower tension strings are more responsive under the bow and therefore more suited to virtuosic playing often seen in solo repertoire for the cello.
