For sale Pirastro Chorda Carlos Henriquez set - 2 weeks old

This is a magnificent opportunity for the gut lover: a new set of Chordas costs £553 in the U.K., and the Carlos Henriquez model are special order.

these are 2 weeks old, hence better than new, because I stretched them for you.


Here’s their story: I bought them from Germany, which meant I had to pay an additional £100 import taxes since we are now ex-Europe…

I installed them on my bass and patiently gave them 2 weeks to settle before concluding that they are not what my bass prefers, or maybe just not what my ears prefer…either way, I’ll pass them on (in exchange for money).



As to be expected with guts, the tip of D is slightly squashed by the pegbox, but that’s totally normal and has no repercussions on the life of the string.
