Description

The Permanent A string by Pirastro is engineered for precision, brilliance, and clarity in the upper register of the cello. Built with a solid high-tensile steel core and wrapped in corrosion-resistant chrome steel, this medium-gauge string provides powerful projection while maintaining a smooth, singing tone.

Known for its fast response and stable tuning, the A string delivers crisp articulation and clean attack, even with subtle bow pressure. It excels in both solo and ensemble settings, providing a sound that cuts through without sounding harsh. Players often find that the Permanent A string pairs beautifully with both steel and synthetic lower strings, though it was specifically designed to work in harmony with the Permanent D, G, and C for a cohesive tonal palette.

This string’s brilliance is never brittle. Instead, it offers a nuanced upper-end that supports expressive phrasing and lyrical playing. Its exceptional tuning stability and durability make it a great choice for players who need reliability during long rehearsals or frequent performances. Additionally, it shines in amplified or electric cello setups, delivering a clean tone with minimal distortion.

Whether you’re focused on precision in the upper register or want a dependable A string for your full-time practice and performance needs, the Permanent A string offers the clarity, speed, and tonal refinement serious cellists expect.
