Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Double Bass A String

A synthetic core double bass A string with steel winding for brilliant sound and stability. It is a musical instrument string for bowed string instruments, but double basses are not explicitly listed in the tariff item. However, the tariff item includes 'viols' which can encompass double basses in some classifications, but this may be ambiguous; it is more likely to fall under the specific item if considered a viol, otherwise under the sibling item.
