Pirastro Evah Pirazzi 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - With Ball-End Gold-Plated E

I've tried every synthetic core (and a few steel) string manufacturer I could find. br>br>It depends on your playing style and the characteristics of your fiddle, but Evahs is the only fiddle I use. These ladies have a buttery texture to them. They add color and overtones to your life, but their responsiveness isn't perfect, and after 3 to 4 months, they'll be bored and tired of you. Oh well. It's only going to last a few weeks. br>br>If you're serious about this, $200 per year on strings shouldn't be a problem. If you play in a restaurant, your Evahs pay for themselves because someone will occasionally leave an extra $30 or $40 on your table simply because they heard your Evahs. br>br>In any case, you've earned them, so don't be stingy.

These strings are a significant improvement over the ones I previously had. I'm not sure what I was wearing, but it was probably around $30. br>The gold-plated E string is silky smooth, with a warm tone that projects well. br>The A is brighter than before, and the D, well, maybe the D is a little too bright for my violin. But it's nothing to be concerned about. br>In comparison to before, the G has a much richer tone. I especially like the two outer strings. br>It only took a few days for them to settle in, and I'm still learning how to use the pegs, so this is a huge help. They're fantastic! br>.

To begin with, these strings are quite stable for a synthetic string. Second, they are bright but not too bright, midrange between focused and complex, loud but not overly loud, and there is the usual two-day process of retuning as they stretch into place, but the stretch is not excessive; third, they are bright but not too bright, midrange between focused and complex, and loud but not overly loud. They don't have the scratchy or tinny sound of student strings, and they have a nice full sound. br>br>I particularly enjoy the E string, which isn't squeaky, tinny, or dull. This appears to be the same or a very similar E as in the Oliv set, with the overtone spectrum and response changed by gold plating. You'd think the gold would wear off quickly, but it doesn't, and the string lasts for a long time.

I'm not sure how long they'll keep going. Who'd have guessed that strings could make me sound so much better? I have a student violin that I've been practicing every day since the outbreak began. I promised myself that once I'd made enough progress over the previous year, I'd buy a better violin. Now that I've changed my mind, I'm just going to buy more strings. It's amazing how much of a difference playing on these strings makes. With less effort, the sound is brilliantly louder. I'm so proud of myself right now that I think I should go out and buy an awesome violin next. I'm glad I went ahead and spent the extra money on stings. It was well worth the money. 🎼🎻.

First and foremost, keep in mind that each violin will respond to different strings differently, so don't base your purchase decisions solely on reviews. br>br>I'm in possession of a low-cost It's from around 2007, but it was designed specifically to replicate the warmth and depth of much older instruments, and it has a HUGE bow pressure input range - I know how to play feathers. For a kind-hearted person, there's a lot of light available. On most sets of strings, I can produce a whispery sound (ideal for an orchestra pianissimo), but I can also dig in harder than I would on most other instruments without producing a scratching tone. As a result, Evah Pirazzis sound fantastic on my violin. Last December through May, I switched my strings from Dominants to Pirazzis for three performances, and the musicians I worked with said the tone was noticeably better. They ARE very bright, and when I watch videos of those three performances, I can easily distinguish my violin's sound from that of an orchestra. So just be aware that if your instrument is already very bright (usually newer / more modern-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style-style If you're looking for screechy strings, these aren't the ones to go for. br>br>With regular use, these don't last very long. My strings lasted just over a year, and I only play three to four hours per week on average. So, if you're looking for strings that can withstand daily practice for an hour, these are probably not the right strings for you. People have told me that they have to replace these strings every two months, which is unfeasible at this price.

Over the years, I've used several sets of Pirastro Evah Pirazzi stings and have never had an issue. However, this set has nicks in the A and D stings, which can be seen in a photo taken by another reviewer. I attempted to take a photograph but was unable to obtain a clear image. I'm worried that they'll break while I'm playing, but they're expensive, and I can't afford to replace them every six months. Johnson's strings dispatched an order. From now on, I'll be returning to Shar. Although the price was lower than other sites, I couldn't help but think Johnson's had a lower-quality product.

These are the only strings I use on my nice violin, and I've been using them for several years. I do have a $700 violin that I only use for traveling, and the Pirazzis didn't sound very good on it. So long as the instrument's quality matches the strings' quality, you're good to go. These will need to be replaced at least every 5 months.

I was hesitant to purchase these at first, but my friends and fellow musicians eventually persuaded me to do so, and I must admit, I've never heard my violin sound so vibrant, beautiful, deep, and incredibly strong. It completely changed my mind, and I now recommend the Evah string set to everyone.
