Description
Evah Pirazzi Gold strings have a synthetic multifilament fibre core. They produce a brilliant, golden tone with a full-bodied and big sound from the very bottom to the top of the register.
The great dynamic range of these strings allows skilled players to explore both the finest nuances of quiet passages and create powerful sonorities when playing close to the finger-board or using a strong bow arm.
Very short break-in time, even shorter than Evah Pirazzi and Obligato, combined with a very high level of tonal stability in all climatic conditions
Specifications

Pros: I think it is fair to say this is the best string I have used. It has power and resonance and speaks more immediately than my other strings and with greater clarity whilst retaining warmth and richness of tone. However, these qualities I have particularly noticed in conjunction with using Salchow light rosin of late. Do not mistake this string for the other make of Eva Pirazzi (green packet), which sounds powerful, but in my view lacks the warmth of the 'Gold' version.
Cons: No cons so far.

Pros: I love the Evah Pirazzi strings and have had them on my violin for well over a year now. I practise for well over 2 hours a day in all some days more than others and they are by far nicer to the ear than any other set of strings I have tried though I have only tried a few brands. The set has lasted well and still sound good after almost 8 months and though I have a spare set apart from one string (the A string) I have never had to replace any of the strings and they are still ringing beautifully like day 1 and they have stabilized well. It takes about a week or so for the strings to settle in and after that they only need tge odd tweak as they are very good at staying in tune.
Cons: 1. They are expensive especially for students but I will get Evah Pirazzi Gold again 2.The A string seems to last a very short time. I have put 3 A strings on in the past 8 months and while one A string lasted 6 months the second one only lasted a few weeks before its winding began to break and unravel...I find the A string problematic for thst reason and I am currently looking for another option for the A string only that might serve me longer. I havent gound one I like as yet to replace the Evah Pirazzi Gold A string.I contacted the company manufacturing the strings who replaced my damaged A string and said it was finger sweat that caused the problem.

Buy it
Pros: Great tone, stability, and sustain. Really responsive.
Cons: Nothing really. It's only that the gold G-string is possibly too good that it out shines the D and A?
Other: I would recommend getting the non-gold Pirazzi Gold G-string as (after having played it) I feel the silver would blend more - or at least until Pirastro make a fully gold set version!? Also, I wouldn't recommend buying the platinum E-string... *whistles*

Violin and strings in perfect harmony!
Pros: I decided to go for Evah Pirazzi Gold on all strings and have no regrets whatsoever. The tone is even across the strings and the response is very impressive. They feel like gut in a way but produce a power and tone that could never be achieved with gut-based strings. As they also hold their tension perfectly they are so much better than gut for the orchestral playing that I do. My violin has never sounded so good. Violin and strings are in perfect harmony!
Cons: None.
