Pirastro specifies this Medium-gauge, ball-end string for 3\/4 double bass. Designed for arco, or bowed playing, and pizzicato, or plucking, it offers a dark tonal character with substantial presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bassists seeking a gut-core D replacement, Oliv supports both strong bowing and expressive plucked passages. It accommodates a heavier bow arm while retaining a dark sound, and plucked notes carry a growling character. Choose this orchestra-tuning bass string when replacing the same configuration or selecting a chrome-wound gut option for your instrument's D position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePirastro manufactures, winds, and polishes the sheep gut core by hand. Manufacturer part number 241200 identifies this specific configuration, helping players match the correct replacement. Rust-red peg-end silk and white\/olive-green tailpiece wrapping provide visual identification. The ball-end fitting connects to compatible tailpiece hardware. Confirm instrument fit before ordering, using Pirastro's published 3\/4 size designation as the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheep Gut Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports tonal variety and a dark sound character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChrome-Steel Winding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines metal wrapping with traditional gut construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowed Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accommodates a heavier bow arm for powerful arco passages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlucked Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produces a dark, growling sound for pizzicato playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall-End Attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits compatible tailpiece hardware designed to retain a ball.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pirastro forms, winds, and polishes the gut by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pirastro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oliv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 241200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual double bass D string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Size Designation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (Mittel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheep gut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinding Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece End:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Tension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Silk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rust red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece Wrapping:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\/olive green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pirastro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50830133264581,"sku":"PIRA-1OBD","price":213.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-pirastro-1obd_2149470e-fbf8-40a2-9d31-9e899c28b82e.jpg?v=1793203853","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/pirastro-1obd-oliv-double-bass-d-string-chrome-wound-gut-3-4-medium","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
