Pirastro Permanent Orchestra Double Bass D String Overview
Pirastro Permanent double bass strings offer a clear and focused sound that is well suited to arco and soloistic playing. The rope core provides a quick bow response with a large amount of volume and projection. A large volume is perfect for soloists who often want to counteract the naturally quieter sound of the bass. These materials also result in exceptional tuning stability and a quick play-in time. The metal construction also makes these suitable for electric double basses which use magnetic pickups.

All the strings in this set have a rope steel core which consists of multiple strands of steel intertwined into a strong yet flexible "rope". They are wound with chrome steel which provides warmth and power. Chrome steel, also known as stainless steel is widely used in string manufacturing for its durability, durability and louder volume. This is perfect for the double bass as it is often a quiet instrument and needs a lot of volume if a player wants to be heard prominently.
Extra strings
As well as the standard orchestral and solo strings in the sets. Pirastro also produce strings for bassists with different configurations on their instrument. If your bass has a low C extension fitted then the 2.1m E string is the string for you. A low B string is also available for five-string basses and a high C string for five-string basses or players with a tuning of CGDA is available too.
