5.0 out of 5 stars These strings hold up to constant professional use, December 9, 2007

This review is from: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - Steel Ball-End E

In contrast to the previous review that stated that these strings deteriorate rapidly, I have found that this is not the case. I use them on both a fine violin and viola for constant professional use and have not exerienced any early deterioration. They certainly don't last as long as Dominant strings, but provide significantly more complex and beautiful overall sound. I also have found that they last much longer than Obligato strings before going false. The breakin period is short and the previous reviewer may have confused a loss of brilliance early on for the sound of the strings settling in and balancing out. I do find that the Gold E is far better than the standard one that is added to sets. Also, consider different gauges.

This review is from: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - Steel Ball-End E

I've used the Evah Pirazzis off and on for about six years, and have been nothing but thoroughly delighted with them. They have a very strong projection. Their break-in time is exceptionally short. I have found that they last longer than any other string that I have ever used (Dominant included). Their tone is definitely on the bright side, which is my one reservation about them. If you are looking for warmth of tone, something almost dark, I would recommend the Pirastro Obligato. They don't have quite the durability as the Pirazzis, but their tone is much more to my liking. But all in all you can't go too wrong with these wonderful strings.

The Evah Pirazzi strings are the gold standard for professional violinists. The are high tension and produce pure sound. They are also very responsive. They allow you to produce your own personal tones.
This is why professionals like Joshua Bell use them for his Strad. The Amazon price is also terrific!
