Pirastro Violin Olive Medium G Gold/Silver/Gut Knot End, 211451

One of the very best G strings available, with a warm, balanced tone. While gut strings like Oliv are often criticized for lack of tuning stability, the Oliv G is actually very satisfactory for orchestral and solo use, and it is long-lasting. In my experience, even with hard playing they have lasted nine months to a year, and don't lose their sound quality as synthetic strings do. The string is expensive, but lasts so long it's worth the price in my opinion.
