Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe A Double Bass String

The Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe A Double Bass String combines a flexible carbon steel rope core with chrome steel winding. This medium-gauge string fits 3/4 instruments in orchestra tuning. Its construction supports responsive bowed articulation, natural plucked tone, and sustained resonance across a broad range of musical applications.

For musicians selecting an orchestral replacement A string, this design accommodates classical ensemble parts and expressive solo repertoire. Arco, or bowed playing, benefits from sensitivity to bow input. Pizzicato, or plucked playing, offers a natural sound. Bassists seeking a versatile steel-core string can use this configuration for rehearsals, recitals, and performances that combine both techniques.

Pirastro identifies the orchestra-tuning version as article 340320, with a ball-end attachment and 71.4 lb string tension. The series emphasizes comfortable playing, stable tuning, and readiness after installation. Black peg-end silk and white/red tailpiece silk help identify the correct replacement.
