Special Features
The length of colored silk at the peg end of the
Passione Solo G-string is different than the length of
the A- and D- strings. This has been done
intentionally and is part of the construction of the G-
string. The special length of the G-string’s color
winding at the peg end prevents the string from
breaking in the peg box. At the latest after two to
three days the stretching process will be finalized.
