Pirastro INSULA violin strings combine tradition and innovation through a new high-tech synthetic core designed to replicate the molecular flexibility of natural gut. The result is a very natural, overtone-rich vibrational response with a warm, room-filling and expressive tone, while retaining the power and stability of modern high-performance fibres.

INSULA strings offer strong, smooth projection, precise and effortless response, and fine sensitivity to bow and finger action. Their special material properties provide an exceptionally short play-in time and outstanding tuning stability, including under fluctuating environmental conditions.

The 4/4 set comprises a steel E, Synthetic/Aluminium A and Synthetic/Silver D and G.
