Description

The market leader in professional grade orchestral strings. Set of 4 in medium tension. Choice of steel or gold plated E. Intense and brilliant sound with the widest possible dynamic range. These strings are best suited to advanced student and professional players and work best on high quality instruments.

Available in three tensions, Evah Pirazzi strings have a core made from a modern synthetic multifilament fibre which contributes to a very intensive and powerful sound. Ideally suited to orchestral and solo playing.

The strings have outstanding playability and exceptional response at any of the dynamic levels, a complex sound, rich with overtones based on a brilliant core sound and enormous projection.

Expressive, with great nuances and enormous dynamic range combined with outstanding tuning stability. These strings are absolutely insensitive to variations in temperature and humidity and are also suitable for electric violins or violins equipped with piezo-pickups

E-Goldsteel option: This string is more brilliant and powerful sound than the Silvery Steel E-string. This string has a different sound profile from Oliv and Obligato Goldsteel E-strings.

Grade 8+

Great strings at a great price!

Pros: The strings work very well on my violin and they sound really rich and full bodied.

Cons: They took a while to settle on my violin which means tuning problems, but that is partly to do with my violin as well.

Other: The String Zone were very helpful after the strings didn't arrive, by sending another set very promptly and accepting the extra set when it arrived.

bright sounding strings

Pros: These strings have a very bright sound and have made my violin sound so much better than it did before.

Cons: To get the best sound out of these strings I am finding that I have to play very close to the bridge which I wasn't used to with my old strings.

Good string experience!

Pros: Very simple: good price, quick delivery and highly convenient. The strings are of high quality and really help with my playing!

Cons: Mild surprise to find that the two sets of strings purchased (8 strings in all) were packaged together in the same wrapper. Not really an issue - but I had been used to each string being wrapped separately in the past.

Pleasing and reliable.

Pros: They play in very quickly - within 2 days they were settled and working well. Instant increase of depth to the sound in comparison with my old set - dominants, for financial reasons ;) - and very even sound across the four strings, though i'm not convinced this is a good thing!

Cons: Shelling out £50+ for a set of strings is inevitable, yet always a bit of a shock. The gold E doesn't improve the tone considerably enough to warrant a special mention...

Other: They arrived promptly and in fine condition.

Beautiful loud strings

Pros: They really sing out - they love to be played loudly and hard and respond really well when I'm giving it some welly.

Cons: I haven't quite got used to how they work when playing more softly yet. I feel like I'm having to work quite hard at getting a sound that I'm happy with.
