PirastroEvah Pirazzi 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - With Loop-End Gold-Plated E

I will admit, I was skeptical about using synthetic-cored strings, but these strings really are very good strings. The tone is a bit brighter than what I was accustomed to but they do mellow out somewhat after they are stretched. It really did not take long for the strings to stretch either. Also, they produce a much louder sound than my previous strings. This is perfect for me. Another thing that I noticed, which is why I went with synthetic strings in the first place, is that they hold their intonation very well despite temperature change. I am extremely happy with these strings and I love how well they play on my 1925 German violin.

These violin strings add power and beauty to the sound. The break-in time is about 5 days, and the durability, is very good. The A string tends to unravel at the nut, and this has happened a few times , as an effect from tuning up a new string.

The A string was damaged upon opening. Considering the price and 1/4 of the product being defective I can't say I recommend. The strings themselves are wonderful. Just wish I wouldn't have been burned on this deal.

Same as always! I have used these strings for years. I just love how they sound on my violin, and even though they're kind of pricey, I think they're worth it. The gold plated E string doesn't sound "tinny" or "sharp," in my opinion. Of course, they stretch out after a few days, but the sound quality is always fantastic. Quality strings at a fair price.

I've used these strings with my violin (I have modern Gregg Alf violin) that tends to have darker tone with other strings. These strings brings all new tone characteristics to the violin that just great for playing the Bach pieces. The lower string is deeper and the E brilliance is more pronounced. May not be for everyone, but personally for me, these strings bring a whole new sound to my violin

My daughter's violin teacher recommended these, and I have to agree--they have a nice, clear quality that was immediately noticeable, without being too stark. Perfect for her senior recital! I usually buy violin, viola, and cello strings online, because I've had negative experiences with strings that have been sitting around a brick-and-mortar store for too long. This is the first time I've purchased strings from Amazon, however, and I'm very happy with the quality.

I have bought both PI strings and Evahs and I have to say that Evahs are way better in the way they sound and are very brilliant. I cannot give them a full five stars because they go flat very, very fast. Just when you think the strings sound wonderful (they take about a week to break in)....all of a sudden.....blah (maybe about a month of life total with about 3 hours of practice a day). The flip side is the PI's (more expensive) last longer but, are just not as pretty sounding....I will review these strings later....So, I guess it is up to your budget, your practice amount, and how much you want to change your strings. I personally like these a lot so, I am stuck changing a lot of strings. Also, they sound particularly wonderful with a Westminster E....The Westminster can handle the power and brilliance of the Evahs. It's all a personal choice but, I have an older, not so easy instrument that needs some bam.....if you do too....try Evah Pirazzi strings.

These strings are not inexpensive, however the G, D, and A string produce a warm rich sound and the E string has a bell like beutiful tone. The string quality is excellent and maintain their resilience for quite some time. Pirastro has made a winner with the Evah Pirazzi violin strings!
