Four gauges—16 1\/4, 16 1\/2, 16 3\/4, and 17 PM—offer different playing tensions. Choose a lower gauge for less tension or a higher gauge for greater tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor players seeking a replacement gut D string, these options allow tension adjustments while preserving the same core and winding materials. Pirastro uses 16 3\/4 PM in its medium set, providing a reference when selecting a full-size violin string. Match your existing numeric gauge for a familiar setup, or select another option to change the string's load at playing pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePirastro makes the Eudoxa family in Germany, forming, winding, and polishing its sheep gut cores by hand. The series suits orchestral work, chamber ensembles, and recording applications where players seek warmth and tonal variety. Each version shares the same size and knotted attachment. Rust-red peg-end silk and white\/violet tailpiece wrapping help identify the D position when replacing a string.\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 a warm tonal character with expressive variation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Winding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains consistent construction across all four gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Tension:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a numeric gauge to match or adjust your existing setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 16 3\/4 PM option matches the D-string gauge in Pirastro's medium set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnot-End Attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits a compatible tailpiece connection for knotted strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Size Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for 4\/4 violin applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGauge Differences and Playing Tension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePM denotes Pirastro's gauge scale.
