Pirastro 1FDBE Flexocor Deluxe E Double Bass String, 3/4, Medium

Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe E Double Bass String

The Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe E Double Bass String combines a flexible carbon steel rope core with chrome steel winding. Designed for 3/4 instruments in orchestra tuning, this medium-gauge string supports bowed and plucked playing. Its construction offers responsive articulation, sustained resonance, and a broad range of tonal colors.

For bassists choosing an orchestral replacement E string, the design accommodates classical ensemble repertoire and expressive solo passages. Arco, or bowed playing, benefits from a quick response to bow input. Pizzicato, or plucked playing, produces a natural tonal character. This versatility suits musicians who switch techniques within a rehearsal or performance.

Pirastro specifies article 340420 for the standard orchestra-tuning configuration, with a ball-end attachment and 70.8 lb string tension. The flexible steel construction supports comfortable playing, stable tuning, and readiness after installation. Dark green peg-end silk and white/red tailpiece silk provide identification when checking an existing setup or selecting the correct replacement for a professional double bass.
