Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Double Bass G String, Synthetic Core, 3/4 - Medium

Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Double Bass G String

The Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Double Bass G String features a synthetic multifilament core wrapped in chrome steel for bowed and plucked performance. Available in Medium and Light (Weich, Dolce), this orchestral G offers standard tension or a lighter feel. Pirastro specifies both options for 3/4-size instruments.

For players seeking an upright bass replacement string, this design accommodates arco, or bowed playing, and pizzicato, or plucking. Its construction suits bassists who move between orchestral passages and jazz lines. Choose Medium to retain the standard tension, or consider the lighter option when easier left-hand playability takes priority in your setup.

Both variants share their core material, winding, and ball-end attachment, while their tension and peg-end silk distinguish them. The standard gauge uses brown silk; the lighter version adds a rose-colored marking. These identifiers help players and technicians select the correct replacement for an existing setup. Confirm instrument sizing and gauge before fitting an individual orchestral G string.
