Pirastro Perpetual Cello Strings

When the new Pirastro Perpetual cello strings were first introduced, it was easy to choose: they only came in medium! Then soon thereafter they introduced the Soloists which is not horribly hard to understand, but then came Cadenza and Edition (!)

Here is a nice detailed chart that will greatly help you decide which strings are best for you and your cello.   Everyone is different:  some cellists simply order one set and they can be usually quite happy while others like to 'tweak' their sets a little after some trial and error with their cello.  For exmple, say you get a medium A thinking that it would certainly be a 'middle of the road' string.  When you look on their comparison chart here, you will see that is probably the brighter choice.  This to us is interesting, because before the 'Soloist' came out, our WARMEST go to string, was always the Passione A.  Now as one can see, to get an even warmer A, you can still go to the Soloist A Medium or A Edition for a more round/warmer A.  Obviously, it helps if you are already familiar with some of their other brands, but this strings comparison chart can certainly help anyone decide.
