PIRASTRO
From Germany, Founded in 1798
It is the quality of our strings and rosin that makes PIRASTRO a well known name standing for reliability and beauty of sound. Many musicians of bowed classical instruments prefer PIRASTRO strings because of the string's ability to modulate and alter the tone. This allows the musician to create an individual sound and to evoke the special sound characteristics of their instrument.
From our beginnings as a small workplace of craftsmen in Offenbach near the Main River, a modern company has evolved, with over 150 employees. Today's production is based on computer-aided machines for precision manufacturing. In former times sheep gut was the sole raw material available, but now state-of-the-art synthetics and various steel and non-steel strands, such as gold, tungsten, silver or titanium are used.
Our research and development technicians work closely together with professional musicians in each stage of the development of our strings. Sophisticated research and development and quality control ensure PIRASTRO strings set an industry standard.
Musicians can choose from the most comprehensive string selection available, which offers gut strings such as Oliv, Eudoxa or Chorda, synthetic strings like Evah Pirazzi, Obligato or Tonica and steel strings such as Permanent, Flexocor or Chromcor.
I have a shrill E string with the Pirastro Eudoxa. I play semi professionally with an 85 member orchestra. The conductor noted a shrill E string and recommended a gut E string. At rehearsal I mounted the E string turned the peg hoping to get the E string up to the required E tone. It popped at C#. I tied another knot and it popped again. Very dissatisfied. When I talked to Shar, they refunded me 1/3 of the cost. Again very dissatisfied. I have been shopping with Shar for decades and easily do $1000 of business each year with Shar. NOT ANYMORE!
