Description
Pirastro Eudoxa is probably the world's best known violin string and has been a staple of many players over the last 60 years. It is a traditional covered gut string. Aluminium on gut. Nowadays these strings appeal mainly to players who value the unique tonal properties and playing feel of a traditional gut cored string and are prepared to accept the need for more regular tuning and their sensitivity to changes in climatic conditions.
The sheep gut core of Eudoxa strings is manufactured, wound and polished in the traditional way, by hand. Well balanced warm tone with a great diversity of sound. Low string tension and a comfortable left hand feeling ideal for orchestra, chamber music and studio takes.
The Eudoxa A features a ball end for a more secure anchorage in a traditional wooden tailpiece. We do not recommend the use of fine tuners with these strings as they require more regular tuning than synthetic or metal cored strings.

Gut cored Pirastro string. Please note that these strings are very delicate and have a shorter and unpredictable life span compared to other strings. We do not recommend their use by beginners or that they be fitted to instruments not set up by trained and experienced craftsmen.

Pros: This string is consistently good.
Cons: It needs frequent tuning, and Stringzone packing is poor.Stringzone coil the string very tightly to fit a tiny jiffy bag. This gives the A string in particular a permanent twist. Considering how expensive these strings are surely they could use a bigger bag (perhaps A5 size) and a looser coil.
