Description
The market leader in professional grade orchestral strings. 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

Still a popular string
Pros: This has been an all time favourite of mine for many years. It has great projection. Durability/longevity is reasonable.
Cons: I feel it has been superceded by, at least on my 1820s English violin, the Evah Pirazzi Gold which is a little warmer, but most importantly offers a more complex tone without sacrificing much in terms of volume of sound.

Bright, sweet sounding strings.
Pros: I just started using these strings. (I didn't buy the E because I like a wrapped one.) They settled in quickly, and have remained very stable. The overall sound on my violin is bright and sweet. They have a whole range of overtones which other synthetic strings lack, at least those I have used. There is plenty of volume, and it's possible to get a good dynamic range, as they respond well to light bowing. It's too early to see how well they will wear andmaintain their tone, but I like them so far.
Cons: None
Other: They really are quite bright, and if you catch an adjacent string it's easy to get a 'whistle'. I am finding you have to bow cleanly to keep the sound focussed. Some other strings are more forgiving.

found the following review helpful
Pros: good tone in higher positions, settles quickly
Cons: Can sometimes randomly squeak played as an open string and seems to have a thinner tone quality than I remember from many years ago. This is a particular problem with my violin on the E string and the reason that I can't use this make of E stings, however this particular A string started producing this problem too.

Thicker string makes overall sound more balanced.
Pros: Solved a 'dead spot' around E flat on the A string I was experiencing with the normal Evah Pirazzi, while mixing well with the other normal tension E.P. strings. Not harsh-sounding, either, and no problems with stability of tuning across different temperatures - these strings are really very good and lasting longer than I expected.
Cons: None
