At last! Strings which really do the job.
Pros:
Big, rich , powerful sound. Good even tone across the string range. Noticeable improvement on Obligato's, as they hold their tune better and give this modern Italien violin (very nice mid 20th century) incredible volume, extra overtones and sheer power with no harshness. Definitely good for the soloist or serious player. Have tried Dominants and Obligato's on this favourite violin of mine, but from now on will be buying only Eva Pirazzi's. Pricey, but well worth it for the extra all round va va voom you get from a quality instrument to start with.The feel of the string under the left hand is smooth and fast, with no 'drag' whatsoever - really excellent. The bow 'bites' well into the string, and although the strings really come into their own at forte and fortissimo playing, they respond very well indeed at p and pp, with no sudden horrible weakness of tone or underlying inconsistency of response, which I've found with some other strings.
I most highly recommend these strings.
Cons:
The E string broke before it was even played - broke is it was being would up to tune.Had ordered a spare and put that one - just fine.
Other:
The standard non-gold E string is very loud and incredibly powerful. Unl;ess your violin has the right playng characteristics, a less strident string in the range might suit your violin better, so consider a gold one to start off with.

Evah Pirazzi strings make you feel like a virtuoso
Pros:
I play violin in orchestras, Irish and Scottish bands and restaurant duos. I have one accoustic and one electric violin. Evah Pirazzi Strings quickly "play in", keep their sweet tone and only need minor tuning adjustments. They also last longer. They are good value for money.
Cons:
I wish they were cheaper but one has to pay for quality.

Terrific strings, excellent service.
Pros:
These are lovely strings. I've been using them on my wonderful 1770 Richard Duke for several years now and find them not only to be very responsive but also to have a gorgeous depth of tone. I've just done a set-up for a colleague and replaced her old strings with Evahs. She is delighted with the result.
Cons:
My only slight gripe is the gold e-string. It's sound is excellent but there is a tendency for the gold plating to wear off fairly quickly. When that happens, the tone of the string deteriorates quite quickly. I do a great deal of playing, though, so it's not a major grumble. I still think they're some of the best strings I've come across.
Other:
I have found the String Zone service to be top notch. With its speed and reliability it's a boon when you need new strings in a hurry. I will certainly continue to use it.

Pros:
These are by far my favourite violin strings. They play in quickly, feel excellent on my 1820 Bologna violin and blend well in chamber music, yet project fantastically in Concertos
I recommend them to all my violin students
Cons:
None

Eva Pirazzi are a must try!
Pros:
These strings are wonderful. They improved the sound quality on my violin so much that people thought I changed violins.
Cons:
The strings lose their dynamic range as they settle but are great to put on a few days before a concert.
Other:
If you are thinking of changing strings this is definitely one to try.

So far, very good with excellent delivery service.
Pros:
A 2 week settling in period is important - these strings change over this time. Compared with the previous Pirastro Eudoxa, these strings stay in tune brilliantly. They are brighter in tone than the Eudoxas - possibly excessively so on an open string but I find them to be generally a significant improvement. Anyone with a very 2bright" violin may find medium tone excessive. Bowing near the heel is easier as these strings "speak" more easily.
Cons:
Price, obviously. I don't know how long these strings will last or how long their present tonal qualities will remain over a period of use - we shall see. Eudoxas tend to have a short life if you play a lot.
Other:
Excellent service from stringzone - thanks.

Pros:
Good strings from Pirastro which don't go off as quickly as some of there other labels. These strings give a nice even warm tone and are quick to settle in. I've never had a bad set and will happily use again.
Cons:
None that I can think of.
Other:
Obviously every violin reacts differently to a set of strings but I do recommend these as a good solid brand for both professional and amateur players alike.
