Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Viola Strings If you go to any professional symphony concert and look into the viola section you'll see many of these players using Evah Pirazzi Viola Strings. If you are trying to find a new, balanced, responsive set of strings for your viola, you cannot go wrong with the Evah Pirazzis. They are easy playing. Meaning, they respond extremely well under the bow and while they have a nice, easy 'gut' like feel and response, they have way more power as well. With the higher cost of viola strings, it can be a little nerve wracking choosing the right strings. Now one of the most popular viola strings, Evah Pirazzi Gold. These, like the 'Greens' are all synthetic strings, except the A string which automatically comes with either a steel A or aluminum synthetic A . How are they different than the 'green' labeled ones? Players are already telling us that they give a slightly broader spectrum of overtones and more brilliant response, yet warmer. We find that our professional viola players just like a straight set, without replacing another brand A string. New additions to the Evah Pirazzi GoldPirastro just recently introduced new 'rope core' chrome choices for their EP Golds: rope core D,G and C. What these do? The new rope cores are more 'direct', slightly more tension and slightly brighter. They have a quicker, more direct response than the 'synthetic' Golds do. Why choose the Rope core over the synthetic silvers? Maybe your viola tends to sound a little too 'dark', the rope cores will bring out the tone (brighten) and will sound a little 'bigger', punchy response. Also, if you like the regular Evah Pirazzi Gold, but maybe one of your viola strings sounds weaker, or less responsive than the rest of the set, you might want to replace that standard silver/synthetic one with one of the new, rope core strings.
We also have some helpful and interesting links about individual string brands, comparisons and some practical related viola information to read:
