Orchestral String Instrument Strings

Achieve the finest tone from your orchestral string instrument with our range of violin, viola, cello, and double bass strings. String choice is one of the most personal and impactful decisions an orchestral string player makes, with different strings offering distinct tonal characteristics, playing feel, and longevity — with synthetic core strings that combine the warm, complex tone of gut strings with the tuning stability and durability of steel, steel core strings for a bright, powerful tone with excellent projection and pitch stability in demanding performance environments, gut core strings for the warm, nuanced tone preferred by period performance specialists and some soloists, and strings in a range of tensions from soft to strong to suit different instruments, bows, and playing styles, from leading brands including Thomastik-Infeld, Pirastro, D'Addario Kaplan, and Larsen, our orchestral string range covers every instrument and every level.
