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.

Great sound (for now)!

Pros: Wanted to try out some new strings so decided to go for these - I've had them for about 3 weeks and the sound is really bright! Naturally that changes from instrument to instrument, but they seem to complement mine quite well. The projection is great! I've heard they don't last as long as other strings, but I haven't experienced that yet as not much time has passed. The price here is the cheapest I found (much cheaper than amazon or any music store near me) and the delivery was fine :)

Top quality strings at a keen price

Pros: Excellent value: it's a time since I needed new strings and I'd expected to have to pay more for this quality. Very well suited to my Maggini copy violin - full, firm tone from bottom to top, lovely for my favourite Brahms!

Cons: None

Amazing!

Pros: This is the best E string I’ve ever had. I love it. It just sings!

Cons: The D and G strings for this set took quite a while to break in and I’ve found it difficult to get a nice rich sound from those strings, but with more playing they are getting better.

Great sounding strings, let down by fragile A

Pros: Nice Texture to sound

Cons: A String ridiculously fragile, winding opening up and fraying at nut, don’t usually have this problem. Got a month out of string.

Great set of strings.

Pros: Really nice set of strings - excellent projection, response and just enough complexity to the sound, although in my opinion the newer "Gold" has more depth and warmth without sacrificing much in volume of sound. Still, I would recommend trying the Evah Pirazzi greens out first as they are a bit more affordable in the long run. The gold E is preferrable over the normal steel one - rounder, more brilliant tone, especially in the higher registers.

Cons: None
