Chorda 3/4 Bass A String: Medium

Warm gut-string tone for 3/4 double bass

The Pirastro Chorda 3/4 Bass String Set is a medium-gauge gut string set designed for double bassists seeking an authentic baroque sound and traditional playing feel. Made with sheep gut that is manufactured, wound, and polished by hand, Chorda strings offer a warm tone, long sustain, and a broad dynamic range. They are especially well suited to Early Music, historical performance, and players who prefer the response and character of gut bass strings.

This orchestra-tuning set includes plain gut G and D strings, along with A and E strings wound with silver-plated copper wire. The low-tension feel is comfortable under the left hand, while the gut construction provides a resonant, flexible sound that works particularly well for pizzicato playing. For bassists looking for a period-appropriate 3/4 upright bass string set with expressive warmth and a traditional feel, Pirastro Chorda offers a distinctive and trusted option.
