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.
Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Exceptionally good strings for the price.
Pros: Their clear, resonant tone which is equally pleasing in low or high registers.
Cons: Nothing.
Other: I play in orchestras, string quartets, restaurant ensembles and folk bands. Pirazzi string fit the bill for all of these musical genres.

Top quality, very powerful string.
Pros: I've been playing Evahs for the last three years now and all I can say is that these strings are wonderful! When new and fresh they have enormous volume and throughout their life produce a bold and strong sound... Perfect for how I use them (amplified, in a band as well as symphony orchestras). They complement my young and lively instrument well though I have heard them sound full and expressive on other more delicate instruments as well.
Cons: They lose their top level of volume as they settle in.

Good strings
Pros: They have a very brilliant sound and the set is evenly matched across my instrumnet. The great advantage compared with other synthetic core strings is they don't give that hard edge to the sound, Also they stay in tune so well.
Cons: Sometimes a new string seems to go rather dull, compared with its initial bright sound, after a few days use
Professional

Pros: Generally superb strings.
Cons: Only reservation is with the A string. This last one started unraveling at the nut after only two weeks.
Other: Pity regarding the A strings.

Very distinctive but not an 'easy play'

Pros: One of the best E strings I've used in many years playing. Very clear , bold and responsive. In general I think the strings are worth paying that bit more for. Nice complex, powerful sound.
Cons: Took a little longer to settle than some strings and seem to be somewhat temperamental (environmental effects, type of rosin, bow condition ?) than less characterful brands.
Other: Excellent, though may not suit everyone.

Disappointed!

found the following review helpful
Pros: The service was prompt
Cons: I'm disappointed with the sound, I find these harsh on my 200 year old violin, taking a long time to bed in and loud. People either love or hate them but for me I wish I'd stuck with Obligato which have a lovely warm sound on my instrument. I'm stuck with these for a while because of the price but I won't buy them again.
