Pirastro Passione Violin E String, Silvery Steel - 26.7 / Loop-End

Pirastro Passione Violin E String

The Pirastro Passione Violin E String is a Silvery Steel replacement for 4/4 violins, available with ball-end or loop-end attachments. Both end types offer three gauges: 0.255, 0.260, and 0.267 mm. Select the attachment for your hardware and the gauge for your preferred string tension.

For a replacement violin E string or a spare for rehearsals and performances, this range provides two independent choices. The end fitting determines how the string connects to compatible hardware. Gauge determines its thickness, with published tension increasing across the three options. When replacing a familiar string, check both details on its packaging. When exploring a different gauge, keep the attachment consistent with your instrument.

Pirastro assigns a distinct article number to each combination, helping players, teachers, and instrument technicians specify replacements accurately. All six versions share the same material and instrument size. Match the manufacturer number when reordering a preferred option, and confirm that your tailpiece or fine tuner accepts the selected fitting before installation.
