Pirastro Passione Real Wound Gut Violin String Set, LOOP End, 4/4 size: These are modern wound gut strings. Proprietary technologies are employed to reduce the break-in time and increase the tuning stability of these strings...overcoming the two main problems with real gut strings. You will not find a better genuine gut string for retrofitting a fiddle for 19th Century near-authenticity. If you require absolute period authenticity, especially for pre-19th Century instruments, see the Pirastro Chorda plain gut strings.

These strings are not price-controlled by the manufacturer as is the case with bows and some instruments, so you will undoubtably find lower prices at the online super stores. I don't think that you will find the expertise we possess in appropriate use and setting up your instrument at the super stores, however...your choice!

Real gut strings are the preferred type for a truly authentic Neil Gow Pochette 1860s fiddle setup.

E: Silvered Steel
A: Aluminum-wound gut
D: Silver-wound gut
