EVAH PIRAZZI GOLD violin string sets

This new string set has the potential both to seduce and inspire the violinists. On the one hand they enjoy the brilliant golden tone one would normally associate with gut strings; on the other, the tuning stability and extremely short breaking-in period equal the high standard set by our Evah Pirazzi and Obligato strings.

The sound of the Evah Pirazzi GOLD is full-bodied from the very bottom to the top of the register and the design of the individual strings has been so carefully matched to one another allowing for effortlessly smooth transitions from string to string. This gives the strings both a marked presence and clarity and outstanding pedal-like resonance which is the secret of its seductive powers. A violinist who recently tested this set of strings spontaneously decided to use it for a concerto appearance and told us: "One cannot help but feel compelled to listen, the inspiration is enormous."

The Evah Pirazzi GOLD strings allow the violinist to explore the finest nuances of the quietest passages or to play close to the finger-board with confidence. At the same time our strings respond immediately to high bow pressure, translating the violinist's energy into powerful sonorities. Such responsiveness means that violinist and instrument connect without the slightest delay.

Thomastik Dominant Violin Set 4/4
135B

The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet rich in overtones. Its radiance, its ability to project sound without being metallic, comes to the fore both in arco and pizzicato. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even under extreme atmospheric conditions. But Dominant's beauty of tone is not as long lasting as that of a steel string, a price the discerning musician will be prepared to pay for this quality of sound. Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.
