Help ID these strings

4 string. Standard tuning. No extension.

The tail end are all red (the knobs on the end are black)

At the pegs:

E - Green
A - Black
D - Red
G - Brown

I'm sure they are a set.

Any ideas?

Cheers guys

Sound like Pirastro Flexocors.
Is the tailpiece red more like burgundy red?

Yep looks like the flexocor (the catolouge says ruby which I would describe this as). Saw them on a friends bass and thought they had a nice orchestral sound so wandered what they were out of interest. Thanks very much!

They're probably the most popular orchestral string.
(and possibly still the best, although the Belcantos are now gaining more interest)
