Pirastro Passione cello strings offer the perfect fusion of traditional gut core warmth with modern advancements in stability, playability, and tonal clarity. Designed for the discerning cellist, these strings bring the expressive complexity of gut strings into the modern era, delivering a powerful yet nuanced tone that responds beautifully under the bow.
The A and D strings feature a polished gut core, engineered for optimal projection and precise articulation. The G and C strings combine a gut core with chrome (G) or tungsten (C) windings, providing rich, dark lower-register tones while maintaining clarity and definition across dynamic ranges.
Passione strings are available in three tensions — Medium (Mittel), Light (Weich), and Heavy (Stark) — allowing players to tailor their sound and feel to personal preference or performance setting. These strings are ideal for soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral players alike who seek expressive range, tonal complexity, and a stable tuning profile in a gut string setup.
With a fast break-in time compared to traditional gut strings, the Passione series balances historical richness with practical modern performance, making them a favorite for cellists who want the best of both worlds.
