Description

The market leader in professional grade orchestral strings. Set of 4 in medium tension. Choice of steel or gold plated E. 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

E-Goldsteel option: This string is more brilliant and powerful sound than the Silvery Steel E-string. This string has a different sound profile from Oliv and Obligato Goldsteel E-strings.

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.

Pleasing and reliable.

Pros: They play in very quickly - within 2 days they were settled and working well. Instant increase of depth to the sound in comparison with my old set - dominants, for financial reasons ;) - and very even sound across the four strings, though i'm not convinced this is a good thing!

Cons: Shelling out £50+ for a set of strings is inevitable, yet always a bit of a shock. The gold E doesn't improve the tone considerably enough to warrant a special mention...

Other: They arrived promptly and in fine condition.

Beautiful loud strings

Pros: They really sing out - they love to be played loudly and hard and respond really well when I'm giving it some welly.

Cons: I haven't quite got used to how they work when playing more softly yet. I feel like I'm having to work quite hard at getting a sound that I'm happy with.

Exceptionally good strings for the price.

Cons: Nothing.

Other: I play in orchestras, string quartets, restaurant ensembles and folk bands. Pirazzi string fit the bill for all of these musical genres.

Pirastro strings are streets ahead!

Pros: The sound is clear and it is easy to get a range of different colours in the sound. They are easy to play, and they enhance the sound of my violin. They last well too.

Cons: I wish they were cheaper!

Top quality, very powerful string.

Pros: I've been playing Evahs for the last three years now and all I can say is that these strings are wonderful! When new and fresh they have enormous volume and throughout their life produce a bold and strong sound... Perfect for how I use them (amplified, in a band as well as symphony orchestras). They complement my young and lively instrument well though I have heard them sound full and expressive on other more delicate instruments as well.

Cons: They lose their top level of volume as they settle in.
