Pirastro 1OVA1312P Oliv A Violin String, 4/4, 13.5 Gauge

Pirastro Oliv Violin A String

The Pirastro Oliv Violin A String pairs a sheep gut core with aluminum winding and a ball end for 4/4 violins. This listing covers the 13.5 gauge, also written as 13 1/2. It provides an individual replacement for players matching the A-string specification in Pirastro's medium Oliv set.

Choose this full-size violin replacement string when your current setup calls for the same material, gauge, and attachment. Buying an individual A lets you retain the other strings already fitted to your instrument. For an aluminum wound gut replacement, compare the gauge printed on your existing package before ordering, especially when maintaining a familiar setup.

Pirastro manufactures the natural gut core by hand before winding and polishing the finished string. The ball end anchors the string at a compatible tailpiece or fine tuner. Black peg-end wrapping and white/olive green tailpiece wrapping help identify this model during maintenance. Confirm instrument size and attachment compatibility when selecting a replacement for rehearsal, lessons, or performance.
