Pirastro Oliv violin strings are the standard by which other violin gut strings are measured. Long known for their superior quality of warmth and depth, Oliv violin strings offer the musician purity of sound and a complexity found only in finely made gut strings.

The 'Stiff' Oliv strings have a darker and more powerful sound than the regular Oliv strings.
