Pirastro P219281 violin string A-2 medium, gut core, aluminum

The Pirastro P219281 A-2 medium is a gut core violin string with aluminum winding, designed for players seeking an authentic, warm gut tone with modern reliability. The gut core produces a responsive, full tone with ample midrange, while the aluminum winding provides extra definition and sparkling highs when bowing. This combination makes the string suitable for both Baroque practice and contemporary concert performances, where your tone extends fully and meaningfully from the violin into orchestral and chamber music. With a medium gauge, you feel balanced tension with every bow stroke, which is beneficial for long rehearsals and rapid articulations. The A string fits 4/4 violins seamlessly and delivers consistent response across a variety of styles, from legato to staccato. The aluminum winding increases durability without sacrificing the characteristic gut tone, keeping your tone stable under varying rosin and humidity conditions.
