It features a stainless steel ball-end E string, an aluminum wound synthetic core A string, a silver wound synthetic core D string, and a gold wound synthetic core G string. This full 4/4 violin string set is medium gauge. The sound of Evah Pirazzi Gold Violin strings is full-bodied from the very bottom to the top of the register. The design of the individual strings has been carefully matched to one another allowing for effortlessly smooth transitions from string to string giving the strings both a marked presence and clarity and outstanding pedal-like resonance. Two versions of the G string are available, one wound with gold and one with silver. This flexibility allows the performer to gauge which string will match his or her personal preference as well as that of the instrument. The gold wound G string gives a round and full tone, while that of the silver wound G string emphasizes brightness. The innovative material used in the E string offers excellent response and a large, noble, and smooth sound to the very top of the register. The E string is available with a ball or loop end.

Acoustically, the Evah Pirazzi Gold sound better (or superior) to dozens of other strings that I've used on my 3 violins. One of my violins is naturally average sounding, the 2nd violin is naturally quiet yet very sweet, and the 3rd violin is very loud & bright. All 3 violins sound best with the Evah Pirazzi Gold. I've compared these violins with many other strings including Dominant, Violino, Aricore, Larsen (two types), Peter Infeld, D'Addario Ascente, Thomastik Vision Titanium, Thomastik Infeld Red, Obligato, and several other strings. ____Unfortunately, these Evah Pirazzi Gold strings are very $$ expensive.

I was recommended these strings by my tutor and I am so impressed about the richness of sound. What a difference with other strings I used before.

definitely the best strings i have ever played on! i’ve had them for a couple of months now and their sound is still as amazing as the day i got them. i do not regret the splurge now that i’m more experienced and can appreciate the difference they make.

First time using the Evah Gold with a Gold D. I’ve used the original Evah Pirazzi strings and loved them. These are incredible. My Roth just opened up immediately and embraced the strings like no other I’ve used before. I used Vision wich were a good buy for the price but these almost 3 times as much the cost sound even better! The D and A are taking some time to adjust the overtones are incredible but the E is sublime it’s super easy to play on and the G growls like an old Chevy. The gold G really brings out the depth of these older instruments the Roth’s are known for their dark sound these enhance it tremendously. The tunability is excellent they seem to acclimate to the instrument quite well. As mentioned earlier the D and A are taking some time to adjust but I’m sure a few more days they’ll be just as great as the E and G. I might try the Silver G next. But if you want a string that makes your great instrument sound even better try these. It’s worth the price tag. You get the complexity and rich colors that you’ve only dreamed of. I’m worried how long they might last, the original Evah Pirazzi had a very short lifespan. Hopefully the price tag reflects the lifespan of these newer improved strings. In comparison I also used PI Thomaski and they last forever hopefully these do as well.

They are nice strings but I think they are too mellow for my late 1890's czech violin. They are very smooth and have a nice gauge. Although, I prefer the sound of slightly thicker. It took about a week of daily playing for them to settle. They ring nicely with open octave pitches but don't have as many overtones as I was used to with the Thomastik's. The Evah Golds play nicely in higher registers and stay in tune (I rarely have to adjust much tuning). They are nice if you are looking for a smooth and clear sound though. I think my preference is for a more complex overtones and sounds. These are still very beautifully sounding strings. I got the Gold G- It's very smooth.

Quick shipping. I've only really ever used dominants... never really had the money to put into better. I did have gut strings once, but that was on a student violin back in the day and wasnt noticed much with me being more intermediate at the time. Just wow. What was I thinking all these years?! I've played violin for almost 23 years and finally upgraded to these. Shame I waited so long. Amazing reaction time, silky smooth all the way to 8th position. My violin is modern and the mellowing, yet powerful sound these bring out is wonderful. They enhance the deepness, without taking away the brightness... if that makes sense? I can play with ease now. My chords and articulate string cossings feel so much simpler.Obviously every violin will be different, but all I have to say is good bye and good riddance to the dominants. I will be trying some obligatos and other higher ends from Pirastro. I will never turn back. I will say that (on my violin anyway) the E and G stand out THE most to me, which is also most important to me. The D and A have a beautiful slight echo. The A seems to be one I may try to replace and mix & match with an Oliv, or the like. We shall see, it just isn't as perfect as the others, but perfect none the less. And either way, these are top notch and well worth the money. No advanced player will regret these unless they simply just don't work on your specific violin. Use with evah gold rosin and you'll be in heaven :)

For many years, I've used Dominant G-D-A strings with Pirastro Gold Label E string for my violins, for the combination has been well tested and proven for outstanding sound. Last year, I've watched a YouTube video which compared various violin strings on the same violin, and I was impressed with the sound of Evah Pirazzi (EP) Gold strings. But, since they cost twice as much as the Dominant combo, I had been very reluctant to purchase them. Last month, however, my curiosity finally induced me to purchase and try them. My immediate response after playing them was "WOW." Buttery smooth G-string (Gold wound) was just unbeatable in tonal quality. Other EP Gold strings are also outstanding in producing warmer and more focused (concurrently) sound (in comparison to the Dominant combo), but the improvement on the G-string was the most noticeable on my violin. To me, the EP Gold strings is the right choice for my best violin. Needless to say, I am well pleased.
