Questions & Answers

Is this set of strings compatible with a 15" viola?

In some strings, the size of the viola that the strings will fit is indicated. As I use the "golds" I notice the first thing is that they do not specify a length. Approximately 16 inches is the diameter of my instrument. It was a good fit. Whenever you have concerns, contact the company and find out what they have to They are probably safe to use, in my opinion. Your viola will sound a lot better after they're installed. On mine, they most definitely did!

Is there a chance these will fit a viola that is a size 16? What about them? I don't have them. ?

That should be the case. As a rule of thumb, the medium means medium tension, which is a pretty good standard. Currently they are full of people Viols with a size of 15 to 17 inches should fit this size.

What do you think? Are the strings brighter or do they sound darker and richer? During the breaking-in period, how long did it take?

In the Evah Gold line for Viola, the colors tend to be on the warm side, but they have a good clarity, as well as some brightness to them. Brightness of the A string is greater than that of the other A player like Pirastro says the A they are using is their best, "universal", A, to compete with Jargar and Larsen, which they often use in conjunction with D, G, A quick break in from Evah Gold. One to one and a half hours It took them about an hour to settle down.

Does this string have a ball end that can be removed?

In addition to the ball, strings also have loops End of story. I- *br A removable ball is attached to a steel string.

At the same time, he is rich and powerful
5/5

The strings I am using provide the same amount of power and clarity as the Vision Solo strings I was using before, but with more complex colors, especially when playing It doesn't take long for them to break in (I switched my last set right before a Nutcracker performance, and they were ready to go My only wish is that they would have lasted longer. I think they can live up to four years, for a good quality specimen There will be a six-week wait. Having said that, I play six in a professional league It is typical to work for 8 hours per day on average, so maybe I can't expect much else. I notice however that my Vision Solos go downhill faster than these ones do. But as long as I sound better, I make more money, so I'm willing to spend a bit more each year in order to sound the way I want!.

It is an excellent product, it is an excellent company
5/5

I have raised my previous rating of five stars in light of this updated review of these fine viola strings. A string of the guitar broke immediately, despite careful installation, and I initially gave it a three-star rating, but after further inspection, I decided to give the other three stars. A representative from Evergreen Violin promptly and courteously contacted me and assured me that customer satisfaction is at the forefront of their minds. In a few minutes, they asked me a couple questions and we emailed back and forth to clarify the issue, and I had a brand new replacement A string within days. There is a rich, deep quality to the sound of these strings- From the older, higher end ones I had on the instrument before, these are of a much higher quality. As I have said already, I believe this product is very much worth the added cost, and if it were possible, I would give it SIX stars. Evergreen Violin is a company that I can recommend enthusiastically, both for their quality products and for their integrity, and I plan to do business with them in the future. The services of this company exceed those of a lot of brick and mortar businesses As well as My purchase from a brick-and-mortar store has been commendable in its solicitous treatment of a customer I am therefore satisfied.

The strings were incorrect, and I was very unhappy with them
3/5

My Viola backup was just opened by me today. I bought this set a few days ago and I just wanted to give it a try. Strings for Viola have been sent to me, not for Viola. It made me feel bad because I had spent a lot of money on these strings and now I am unable to This is a huge mistake made by the seller, so I hope they see this review.

This is a risk that may or may not pay off
4/5

If you watch a review for a string set for an instrument, it's almost like viewing a review of a car online. Until you use them, you'll actually know for sure. I would like to say that, on my particular Viola, the sound was much This is particularly evident in the C & D Despite the D's average quality and the A's monotony, the G strings are surprisingly good. changed over to these strings from Obligatos and have to say the $20 premium is well worth it, especially if you're seeking a warmer tone. However, I will say that the strings are very difficult to break in (more than any other string I have ever bought). The first couple of days, you will find yourself playing the strings over and over again. The tuning process. Based on my own experience and using my own viola, I wrote this review. Buy a pair of these strings, but be aware that you are spending quite a bit. Choose whether you are willing to be greatly satisfied or greatly dissatisfied before making your purchase. My overall experience with them has been positive. To be honest, I do not see much difference (for me) between these and Obligatos. If you buy a pack of these, you may be able to get a Jargar A and a pack of Obligatos.

Strings came as promised, but were not as good as advertised
3/5

The only things I got were the G and D from the complete set I ordered. Nonetheless, even if that were not the case, I would rate it 5 stars, because the strings are truly wonderful. As someone who has been using the Evah Pirazzi Gold strings for a few years, I can say that they are one of my favorite sets. A bit difficult to play on my viola, the C is a bit hard to coax a sound out of, but when it plays, it's really A string like this also tends to be a bit harsh for my taste, but compared to other A strings I have tried, I cannot complain. I wouldn't call it cold, but it's certainly warmer than While the G and D are absolutely beautiful, they aren't what I would describe as modern. To the core, this is a rich sound. In summary, I think the Gold set is similar to the regular Evah Pirazzis sets. It sounds like they have a lot of warmth to them. While I doubt the price tag of these strings will be worth it for advanced players, they certainly are excellent strings.

What I expected wasn't what I got! I found it to be very expensive, and it was not what I needed for my viola! When I was stringing up my viola, I realized the 'medium' tension wasn't what I needed, so I switched back to what I'd been using before For my 17" viola, I use Kaplan heavy gauge strings and longer strings

Buying them is a great idea! I am using the set of strings for the third time
5/5

I can play viola to a heavenly sound with them. A 16-inch monitor is what I play with. The shoes fit perfectly and are 5 inches in diameter.
