Pirastro, the company who makes Evah Pirazzi strings, has been producing high-quality handcrafted strings for over a century. In the late 1700s, an Italian string-maker named Giorgio Pirazzi was invited to set up a workplace in Frankfurt. His business continued for decades until the 1890s when Gustav Pirazzi, the then current owner, accepted a business partner named Theodore Strobel.
They combined their last names into the name Pirastro and a new company was born. While the name may have changed, the tradition of their craft did not. They still made some of the finest strings on the market.
The Evah Pirazzi strings, named for the Pirazzi who took over the company as a shareholder in 1992, continues that tradition of quality. The Evah Pirazzi string has become popular among many violinists because of this adherence to quality and tradition.
The Evah Pirazzi string was created to have a powerful, brilliant tone. Pirastro worked closely with professional musicians in order to develop this string as a perfect soloist string, with a full tone and a noticeable edge.
The string offers a wide dynamic range and a complex sound that will really bring a solo piece to life. Remember that all strings sound slightly different on different instruments, so you may not have the same sound as someone else.
If you're struggling to find the perfect sound on your strings, you can always consider mixing and matching them for an even more complex sound across the scale. As an example, the Evah Pirazzi G string is remarkably brilliant and can bring drama when combined with another set of strings.
Evah Pirazzi strings are made using the same traditional craftsmanship Pirastro has been known for. They are a synthetic string made from modern winding materials and quality-controlled to maintain their rigid standards.
Like other synthetic strings, Pirastro strings are resistant to temperature and humidity changes and won't detune like gut-core strings, but they still have a better sound quality that steel-core strings. They may take a few days of playing before they stretch to their final length, but after that they will require less tuning.
While Evah Pirazzis may cost a little more than some, you are getting what you pay for with these expertly crafted violin strings. If you buy from a dealer like Triangle Strings, you can get them at a price more affordable for hobbyists and students. While most everyone will have a different experience even with a quality string like Evah Pirazzi, you can be sure that you are spending your money on strings made with the highest level of professionalism.
