Pirastro Oliv Series Violin String Set

Sheep gut strings for violin.

The Oliv series strings are for discriminating players. The sheep gut core of the Oliv strings is manufactured, wound and polished by hand. The tone is rich and complex. The silver D-string is richer with overtones and the response is easier. The medium set contains the following strings: E-goldsteel medium, A-aluminum 13 1/2,

Musicians such as Ilya Gringolts use Oliv strings as they offer the possibility “to explore the remotest corners of sound.” The sound is brilliant. Oliv strings offer the typical beautiful sound of gut strings.

Altering the gauge by 1/4 PM changes the tension by 3%. D-gold-aluminum 16 3/4, G-gold-silver 15 3/4.
