Hi, Anthopny. The Pistoy is the most flexible string available. They are made using 3 strands of wet gut, and they are each triple twisted. Then, they are twisted together in the opposite direction, making for a very loose, flexible string. That is why they intonate so well, because the vibrating aspect of the string is from the nut to the bridge, not in effect a shorter distance.
