Pirastro String Oil, 50ml

Pirastro String Oil is a specially formulated maintenance oil designed to preserve and protect plain gut strings. Unlike a cleaner, this light oil is meant to nourish the string material, helping to maintain flexibility and prevent the dryness that leads to brittleness or premature breakage. Regular, careful use can extend the life and tonal stability of gut strings, which are especially sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.

The oil comes in a 50 ml bottle, providing many applications when used sparingly. Only a tiny amount is needed: place a single drop on a soft cloth and gently wipe the portion of the string that lies above the fingerboard. It should not be applied to the area contacted by the bow hair.

For musicians who rely on gut strings, this oil offers essential protection. It keeps the string fibers supple, reduces the risk of cracking during environmental shifts, and supports more consistent performance over time.
