How to choose
Choose Pirastro strings by instrument, size and level, and use a rosin suited to your instrument.
Beginner
If you are a student, Pirastro Piranito strings are a reliable, affordable choice for violin, viola and cello, and they come in fractional sizes such as 1/4 and 1/8. Choose the rosin for your instrument, since cello and bass rosin are stickier than violin rosin.
Intermediate
If you are progressing, Pirastro Tonica strings offer a warmer, more refined tone. Try Tonica or Eudoxa rosin for violin and viola for smoother bow response. Replace single strings when they break rather than the whole set, if the others are still fresh.
Expert
At an advanced level, Obligato viola strings, Chorda and Flexocor Deluxe cello strings and The Jazzer double bass strings suit professional and specialised playing. Choose rosin to suit your climate and style, and change strings regularly for consistent tone.
