Best G!
The Pirastro Oliv G is the very best of the best strings. It has the warmest, most robust sound imaginable, and does not crack under pressure. The 16.5 stiff gauge is noticeably better than the 16 or lower gauges. It’s definitely worth the extra few dollars to get the stiff type over the regular kind, if you have the choice. The rigid G is a bit stronger and withstands more bow pressure.

Powerful
Rich tone which compliments other strings with warm sound. Great projection. Fun to play.

Fantastic String
I hesitated to spend $85 for a string, but this is worth every penny. Next time I'll get one gauge thicker (I got the 16, I'll go to 16 1/2. Try it, you won't regret it.
