String Review: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold and No 1 E string vs Warchal Amber | Violin Lounge TV #254
After using Warchal Amber for a while I’ve switched to Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold combined with the No 1 E string.
I’ve always love the warm and rich sound of the Ambers, but the Pirastro’s give me a better response on the (golden) G string and generally have a larger tone.

Thanks Zlata for sharing your experience wich these two strings. I used myself for the last 3 years c, g and d violastrings Solo Vision and the A string from Larsen, because m teacher rechnen it. It was a good large and full sound ,but I got encourage from your video to try other strings and experience more by myself. Also interesting that Instruments responde different and individuell to different strings. ..
Thanks and God bless you. Myriam (Viola and Violine player) from Israel.
Thanks for sharing, Myriam!
I love Pirastro Tonicas and haven’t tried much else. I like them because they have a perfect balance of warmth, brillance and projection. They’re great value for money, and they’ve worked well on every violin I’ve tried them on.
Thanks for sharing, Roy, Pirastro Tonica is indeed a good general string.
