Different 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.
Gold plated and loop end E strings
Evah Pirazzi is a comprehensive range of strings. This is why
the E strings are available in various configurations to match your
preference. Certain fine tuners require an E string with a loop
end. This is why Pirastro have made loop end E strings available in
case you require that instead. Ball end E strings are also
available if you have a standard fine tuner or don't use one.
For further refinement of your tone, you can also get E strings
that are gold plated, rather than the standard tin plating.
Referred to as Goldsteel by Pirastro this provides a more brilliant
and powerful sound with an easy bow response.
Fractional sizes
If you have a smaller violin (1/8 size to 3/4), there are some
versions of Evah Pirazzi strings that will fit your instrument.
These are limited to medium tension sets, however you can also buy
medium tension individual strings as well.
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.
