Colour code chart for strings...

[Magnus Nedregard]

With the ever-increasing choice of more or less useful strings, I become at times a little frustrated in my attempts to identify them all... especially the peg end silk wrapping is rather meaningless without proper information about what it means. Evah Pirazzis with blue peg ends and a black ring, or light blue rings and yellow ends and argh!

Quite often someone comes in with a string solutions that works really well, can't remember what it was, and it could take half day to find out, as far as a few minutes of googling could reveal f.ex. Pirastro has not published any complete colour-code chart, and that is a shame. So my question goes; has anyone found an up-to-date overview of the colur codes?

Hi!

Magnus if you need also cello string's code (as it seems) you can find color chart for individual strings on Pirastro website itself. For example Evah cello chart is in the end of their flier here : http://www.pirastro.com/pdf/flyer/cello/celloflyer_eng.pdf

I have found three different on-line string identifiers:
