The Pirastro Tonica Violin G String features a modern update on a classic string. The synthetic gut core is made from nylon, which produces clear and warm tones. The medium gauge tension offers an ideal balance between versatility and playability. The string is wound with silver for increased depth and a comfortable feel. The Tonica strings have a smooth surface thats comfortable for your left hand whilst being responsive to both bows and picking. Because of the violins scale these strings will naturally produce more focused high frequencies. This G string is designed for 1/2 and 3/4 size violins and features a ball tailpiece end.
