Eudoxa Gut (Silver Flatwound) Upright Bass Strings

These strings generate a lot of requests, and I can say that they are popular among jazz players who want a little more brightness and a smoother bowing surface out of their gut strings. A more "traditional" wound gut string would be the Olivs, also from Pirastro.

All strings are gut which is wrapped in a flat silver tape for more sustain and smoothness.

Pirastro says: The gut string!

• excellent bass string for orchestra and Jazz bassists
• excellent & brilliant sound
• high ability of modulation
• long sustain
• fits perfectly for Arco and Pizz

Important note about fitting these strings on 7/8 and 4/4 basses:

Due to special production techniques, the Eudoxas are made with the winding section a little shorter than most other Pirastro strings; they should fit most any 3/4 size bass, but if you have a larger-size bass, you might want to contact us prior to ordering - we're more than happy to measure the strings and compare to the measurements on your bass to ensure that these strings will fit BEFORE you order! Pirastro does make a 4/4-specific version of this string by special order (they cost a bit more and may be subject to a brief delay while we obtain them from Pirastro in Germany).
