Five gauges, from 13 through 14, offer progressively higher published tensions. Every version uses a ball end, allowing players to select string thickness while retaining the same construction and attachment type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this silver-wound gut violin string when replacing a worn D or reviewing your instrument's string balance. Gauge 13 1\/2 is the D supplied in Pirastro's medium Passione set, providing a useful reference when comparing options. Lower numbers identify thinner choices with lower published tension; higher numbers identify thicker choices with greater load. Check your existing gauge when ordering a replacement for a familiar setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePirastro prepares, winds, and polishes the gut core by hand. For teachers, performers, and instrument technicians, the published gauge specifications provide a practical basis for selecting a replacement violin D string. Compare the five options below, then match the gauge to your playing preferences and instrument. Confirm the 4\/4 size and compatibility with a ball attachment before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive gauge options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare thickness and tension within one string family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver winding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines a metal outer winding with a natural gut core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandworked construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incorporates manual core preparation, winding, and polishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall-end attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains the same fitting across all gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual D replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lets you retain your preferred E, A, and G strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGauge Differences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thinnest option; published tension of 9.9 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13 1\/4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Between 13 and the medium-set reference; published tension of 10.4 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13 1\/2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-set reference; published tension of 10.8 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13 3\/4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Between the medium-set reference and 14; published tension of 11.2 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thickest option; published tension of 11.7 lb.\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 Passione\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/4 violin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheep gut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge Increments:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 PM, Pirastro's gut-string gauge scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge 13 Article Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219321 envelope; 219322 straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge 13 1\/4 Article Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219331 envelope; 219332 straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge 13 1\/2 Article Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219341 envelope; 219342 straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge 13 3\/4 Article Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219351 envelope; 219352 straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge 14 Article Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219361 envelope; 219362 straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Colors, Gauge 13:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose-colored\/rust red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Colors, Gauge 13 1\/4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose-colored\/blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Color, Gauge 13 1\/2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose-colored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Colors, Gauge 13 3\/4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose-colored\/dark violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeg-End Colors, Gauge 14:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose-colored\/olive green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece-End Colors:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\/brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pirastro","offers":[{"title":"14","offer_id":50815763546309,"sku":"PIRA-1PAVD14P","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.75","offer_id":50815763579077,"sku":"PIRA-1PAVD1334P","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.5","offer_id":50815763611845,"sku":"PIRA-1PAVD1312P","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.25","offer_id":50815763644613,"sku":"PIRA-1PAVD1314P","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13","offer_id":50815763677381,"sku":"PIRA-1PAVD13P","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-pirastro-1pavd14p_04551c4d-f29e-45e2-80a1-fc7e0d59a874.jpg?v=1793113981","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/pirastro-passione-violin-d-string-silver-wound-gut","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
