Default Green and purple bass strings

Thank you.

If you go to the website for Shar Music you can click on the camera icon under the Winding" column and see the colors each string is wrapped in silk at the ends. The Pirastro Evah Pirazzi has no picture of their end wrapping, so you could be correct about which string those colors belong to.

By the way, I am shocked at the string prices. Back in 1968-72 I could go to Shroeder's Music supply downtown Manhattan (S. Park Ave. or S. 5th Ave?) and buy Pirastro Flexocore bass orchestra strings for $23 to $25 dollars a set. Now they want ten times that price? Wow! I'd like to see modern manufacturing technology bring the prices down.

Thanks again for the string information.
