The Legendary Quality of Pirastro Strings

Pirastro has been crafting strings since 1798, when Giorgio Pirazzi founded "Giorgio Pirazzi & Sons". A hundred years later, Pirazzi's grandson partnered with a friend, Theodor Strobel, and a small family business transformed into the legendary Pirastro brand we know and love today.

Pirastro didn't just join the string-making tradition—they revolutionised it. Before the brand came along, string players faced the frustrating task of sorting through unmarked strings to find what they needed. Pirastro became the first to specify string gauges, bringing consistency to the disorganised string music world. They also became the first to use only sheep gut in their strings, creating a benchmark for quality that stands to this day.

Each string in their extensive collection is meticulously designed and handcrafted to offer players exceptional choices in tonal colours. Pirastro strings are now synonymous with beautiful and dependable sound.
