PirastroPerpetual Series Double Bass E String 3/4 Size, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a highly flexible steel rope core, this 3/4-size medium E string is part of Pirastro’s Perpetual line for pizzicato-focused double bass playing. It combines a comfortable left-hand feel with quick articulation and a strong, focused lower register. The line is also intended to adapt across a range of styles through player adjustment. Under the bow, it brings a clear, complex voice with substantial intensity, while its responsive feel is designed to support extended practice or playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pizzicato double bass work needing fast articulation and a strong, focused low register.

- Players moving between pizzicato and arco passages in varied musical styles.
Consider the trade-offs
