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

Excellent strings

Pros: Good projection and resilience across most genres and speeds.

Cons: Seems to unwind at the 3rd finger position after about a year of playing but not sure if this is the string or some other factor.

Other: I always keep all 4 strings the dame brand ie these Pirazzis. The E can be occasionally harsh and whistles if bow is not firmly placed.

Beginner

good for sound projection

Pros: These strings produce a bright and powerful tone.

Cons: It took a long time to settle in - it wouldn't stay in tune and didn't blend well with the older strings

Other: The winding wears out every few months, making these an expensive choice.

Warm tone

Pros: These are my favourite strings for tone, a mix of warmth and brightness and good volume that suits my instrument and style playing. They settle in quickly - within a few hours of fitting.

Cons: An expensive treat for the violin!

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Cons: I feel it has been superceded by, at least on my 1820s English violin, the Evah Pirazzi Gold which is a little warmer, but most importantly offers a more complex tone without sacrificing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.
