The Pirastro Permanent Soloist cello strings are engineered for advanced and professional players who demand immediate response, powerful projection, and tonal clarity at every dynamic level. Designed for brilliance and volume without sacrificing nuance, these strings offer a clear upgrade in responsiveness and sonic output over the standard Permanent set.
The A and D strings are built on solid high-tensile steel cores and wrapped in chrome steel, yielding a bold, direct tone that projects effortlessly. They’re designed for precision and articulation in the upper register, ideal for soloists needing clean attack and vocal resonance under the bow. The G and C strings are wound with tungsten over a flexible rope core, delivering a broad, commanding lower register with a warm core and compact decay—excellent for fast passages and percussive clarity.
With their shorter decay and fast attack, Permanent Soloist strings allow for clean transitions and expressive phrasing without overhang or muddiness. Whether you’re performing modern repertoire, amplified work, or classic concertos, these strings maintain pitch stability, immediate playability, and tonal control in virtually any environment.
This set is also an outstanding choice for electric and amplified cellos, with a focused output that remains stable across pickup systems. Trusted by professionals around the world, Permanent Soloist strings strike a balance between aggressive brilliance and refined control—perfect for players who want to be heard, felt, and remembered.
