Pirastro 1BCG Obligato Cello G String, Tungsten-Wound, 4/4, Medium

Pirastro Obligato Cello G String

The Pirastro Obligato Cello G String is a tungsten-wound, synthetic-core replacement for 4/4 cellos. It comes in medium gauge with a ball-end attachment and a published tension of 30.4 pounds. Manufacturer article 431320 identifies this individual G string for players replacing one position in their setup.

Consider this tungsten-wound cello G string when replacing a worn string or reviewing your instrument's lower-register balance. An individual replacement lets you retain your preferred A, D, and C strings while assessing the G separately. For rehearsal preparation, recital planning, or regular practice, match the size, gauge, and attachment to your instrument. Check your current packaging when reordering a familiar configuration.

Pirastro specifies the construction, tension, and identification colors, giving performers, teachers, and instrument technicians clear reference points for replacement selection. Brown silk identifies the peg end, while rust red and black identify the tailpiece end. Keep the article number with your instrument records to simplify future orders. Confirm the 4/4 designation and ball-fitting compatibility before installation, especially when assembling a mixed string setup.
