Description
Evah Pirazzi Gold strings produce a clear, golden tone with a full-bodied and big sound from the very bottom to the top of the register.
The great dynamic range of these strings allows skilled players to explore both the finest nuances of quiet passages and create powerful sonorities when playing close to the finger-board or using a strong bow arm.
Very short break-in time, even shorter than Evah Pirazzi and Obligato, combined with a very high level of tonal stability in all climatic conditions
Stainless Steel E-string: It has an excellent response and generates a refined and smooth sound right to the very top of the register.
Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

A good string, but keep an ear on it.
Pros: Good sound
Cons: Unusually for an E string in my experience it tends to go flat quite quickly when played. Having been brought up to pitch it invariably starts the next session sharp. It may of course be a quirk of the instrument.

Bright clear tones, good sustain and response
Pros: Bright and even tone readily achieved. Great response and clear distinct crisp notes in fast lively pieces, along with good sustain on slower excerpts. Rounded clear pleasant top notes more easily attained.
Cons: Difficult to fault.

Good sound, but they don't last long.

Pros: The sound is good, nice and bright and clean and strong.
Cons: Please don't assume my answer is none. I have deleted you answer of none and put MY answer from my own experience here. The E string only lasts about 6 months before it starts fraying, and that's with my violin only being played about 6 hours a week. So it has a low durability, and could work out very expensive if I played more than I currently am.
Other: I like how the string sounds, but if it continues to break after 6 months I'd be ready to consider alternatives. I have a low income of about £15K a year. I used to use dominants, which last up to 5 times longer. This review is based on my last two Evah Pirazzi E strings.

Good but not the best

Pros: Gives a very mellow warm sound that is more suitable if you have a very loud violin that rings like a church bell.
Cons: The sound is not as rich as Obligato Gold. The string itself is not gold as advertised in the name and does not give the same feeling of confidence that a gold string brings to the party.
Other: Will not be purchasing this string again because it is not worth the high price tag.
