Pirastro 1FDBG Flexocor Deluxe G Double Bass String, 3/4, Medium

Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe G Double Bass String

The Pirastro Flexocor Deluxe G 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 and supports both bowed and plucked techniques. Its construction delivers responsive articulation, sustained resonance, and a varied tonal palette.

For musicians selecting an orchestral replacement G string, this design accommodates ensemble repertoire and expressive solo passages. Arco, or bowed playing, benefits from a quick response to changes in bow input. Pizzicato, or plucked playing, produces a natural sound. Bassists seeking a versatile steel-core string can use it across rehearsals, recitals, and mixed-technique programs.

Pirastro identifies this configuration as article 340120, with a ball-end attachment and 62.8 lb string tension. The flexible core supports comfortable playing, while the series emphasizes stable tuning and readiness after installation. Brown peg-end silk and white/red tailpiece silk help identify the correct replacement. Its tonal range accommodates bright clarity as well as warmer, darker expression.
