Pirastro GmbH

The ancestors of the current owner Evah Pirazzi came from Italy to Germany more than 200 years ago. From the beginning as a small workplace of craftsmen in Offenbach near the Main river, a modern company has evolved under the name of Gustav Pirazzi & Comp.KG, with a staff of over 150 employees at two plants, both located in Germany. On January 1, 2002 we have been changed our name into PIRASTRO GmbH (Ltd.)

Today's production is based on computer-aided and self-designed machines.In former times sheep gut was the sole raw material available. Apart from gut production is based also on state-of-the-art synthetics and various steel and none-steel strands, such as gold, tungsten, silver or titanium.

Our research & development technicians work closely together with professional musicians in each stage of the development. Sophisticated R&D and quality control ensure modern PIRASTRO strings setting an industry standard.
