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.

Worth it!

Pros: Recently rebuilt an old c19 violin which deserved a good set of strings and the Pirastro did not disappoint - I am not expert on strings but a hundred times better than the student variety.

Cons: Cost?

Too harsh and brash for my liking.

Pros: This is the first time trying these strings.

Cons: This is my first time trying these strings and I do not like them. I usually use Eudoxa, but was persuaded by the reviews. They are too brash for my liking, too harsh with little or no warmth. I will not buy again.

Other: Would like to swap with a set of Eudoxa if possible....

Good balance between price and value.

Pros: I changed to these from Tomastik Dominant when I broke one and didn't have a replacement. My desk partner loaned me a PEP, being all she had. The single PEP string sounded better than the other three so I have stuck with them ever since. The are birght sounding, playable and project well in an orchestral setting. They are durable, and tune in fairly quickly when first installed.

Cons: Solo they can sound rather gritty, but that may be my technique. The E string always sounds a little feeble compared to the others (again that may be my technique). I wish the individual string packets were better labelled for ease when needing a rapid string change - I have had to highlight the appropriate part of the label, having learned from bitter experience.
