Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Viola C String, Medium Overview
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi viola strings are a premium range of strings from Pirastro featuring a synthetic core of multifilament fibre. These strings produce a powerful and brilliant sound that really emphasizes the individual sound of your instrument. What makes these strings great for viola is the level of projection achievable, allowing the true beauty and power of the instrument to shine.
Evah Pirazzi strings benefit from being resistant to changes in temperature or humidity, making them ideal for travelling or for changing weather. You will also find an unmatched dynamic range, letting you explore the nuances of your viola with ease. All this is thanks to the synthetic core, developed especially for Pirastro strings. If you own an electric viola or a viola with a piezo pickup, then these strings will also work great on your instrument.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDifferent tensions
Like many strings, Evah Pirazzis are available in various tensions. Weich (light), Mittel (medium) and Stark (heavy). These different tensions allow you to choose the best tension for your playing style and instrument. Lighter tensions tend to respond faster to the bow and are less tiring for new players or for extended periods of playing. Heavier tensions, while more difficult to make speak, often produce a darker sound with more volume. You may find one tension will match your playing better, or maybe complement your instrument's natural sound more.
Exclusive new core material
For the Evah Pirazzi, Evah Pirazzi Gold, Obligato and Violino string types, Pirastro have developed a new synthetic material for the core. This is exclusive to Pirastro and won't be seen in any other brand of strings. The new material offers an unmatched variety of timbres with rich overtones. It also provides complete resistance to fluctuations in temperature and humidity bringing incredible tuning stability and an impressive dynamic range that can bring out the nuances from pianissimo to fortissimo.
Alternate A strings available
The standard A string in the Evah Pirazzi strings has a steel core with chrome steel winding. This provides the bright sound often desired for the top strings. If this isn't the sound you're after, then Pirastro offers an alternate A string with the same synthetic core as the rest of the Evah Pirazzi strings, wound with aluminium. This offers a warmer sound which you may prefer and it also delivers an easier response to the bow.
About Pirastro
Pirastro was founded in 1798 as "Giorgio Pirazzi and Sons". It all started with Giorgio Pirazzi who learned the craft of string making across Italy and then moved to Offenbach, Germany and began his company. Nearly a century later, Pirazzi's grandson invited his friend, Theodore Strobel, to join him as a business partner. They combined the beginnings of their names together to create Pirastro. Today Pirastro is still run by the Pirazzi family and makes high-quality strings that are used by musicians all over the world and at the very highest standards of performance.
