Designed especially for arco, or bowed playing, this 3\/4-size string offers quick response and short sustain. Choose medium or heavy gauge to match your instrument's setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bassists selecting an orchestral replacement G string, the two gauges provide distinct tension levels within the same construction. Medium carries 64.8 lb of tension, while heavy carries 74.1 lb. Musicians choosing a steel-core string for bowed repertoire can compare these loads when refining their setup for rehearsals, concerts, and classical ensemble playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth options use ball-end attachments and ruby tailpiece silk, with different peg-end markings for identification. Medium, labeled Mittel by Pirastro, uses brown silk; heavy, labeled Stark, adds olive green. The series supports stable tuning and readiness after installation. Each version fits a 3\/4 double bass in orchestra tuning and carries its own manufacturer article number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Steel Rope Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports responsive bowed articulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChrome Steel Winding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Completes the construction for orchestral use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Tonal Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits traditional ensemble repertoire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Sustain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps successive notes remain distinct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Gauge Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers medium and heavy tensions for 3\/4 instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Stability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports consistent pitch during playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMedium and Heavy Gauge Differences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium (Mittel):\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower tension of the two options at 64.8 lb; article 341120; brown peg-end silk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy (Stark):\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher tension at 74.1 lb; article 341130; brown\/olive green peg-end silk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\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 Flexocor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual double bass string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium, heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-tensile carbon steel rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece Attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece-End Silk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pirastro","offers":[{"title":"Heavy","offer_id":50816076447941,"sku":"PIRA-1FBGF","price":128.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":50816076480709,"sku":"PIRA-1FBG","price":128.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-pirastro-1fbgf_4ad587a7-618b-4d81-b92e-346fa126c3d8.jpg?v=1793116178","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/pirastro-flexocor-g-double-bass-string-3-4","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
