Chorda 3/4 Bass D String: Medium

Warm gut D string for 3/4 double bass

The Pirastro Chorda 3/4 Bass D String is a medium-gauge single string designed for double bassists seeking an authentic baroque sound and traditional playing feel. Made from plain sheep gut that is manufactured and polished by hand, this D string offers a warm tone, long sustain, and a flexible response. It is especially well suited to Early Music, historical performance, and players who prefer the character and feel of gut bass strings.

As a replacement string from the Chorda orchestra-tuning bass set, this D string provides the resonant, low-tension feel associated with traditional gut construction. Its comfortable response supports expressive pizzicato playing while offering the nuanced tonal color needed for period-style bowed performance. For bassists looking to replace a single string while maintaining the sound and feel of a Pirastro Chorda 3/4 upright bass setup, this medium D string is a dependable choice.
