About Evah Pirazzi Gold
Steel-core construction and tonal profile.
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold pairs modern steel construction with a tone that sounds anything but metallic. The string is voiced for a clear, full, character-rich sound that projects easily without the glare often associated with steel-core sets. The result is balanced power with a warmth that rewards nuanced bowing across the full dynamic range.
Break-in time is remarkably short for a string of this tonal complexity. The Evah Gold responds quickly to light and heavy bow pressure, offers smooth legato and crisp articulation, and holds its tuning reliably across long rehearsals and varying temperatures. Made in Germany by Pirastro.

Playability
Quick bow starts, stable under every condition.
Evah Pirazzi Gold offers quick bow starts, smooth legato, and crisp articulation from the first session. Left-hand feel is comfortable and stable, encouraging reliable shifts and consistent intonation. The set thrives under both light and heavy bow pressure without losing the warm, coloured character that defines it.
Tuning stability is excellent across long rehearsals and performances, with minimal pitch drift under temperature and humidity change. The short break-in time makes this a practical choice for players who need a string that performs immediately. Suitable for soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral players who want warmth balanced with brilliance.

Frequently asked
Evah Pirazzi Gold cello strings, in short.
How long do Evah Pirazzi Gold strings last?
Lifespan depends on playing hours, perspiration, and environment. A daily-playing professional or advanced student should expect several months of consistent tone. Replace when the sound becomes dull, unfocused, or false in upper positions.
How long do new strings take to settle in?
Break-in time is remarkably short for a string with this level of tonal character. Allow 24 to 48 hours of normal playing. Retune gently and wipe rosin residue off after each session.
Are these genuine Pirastro strings?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold through the official supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, we arrange the replacement directly.
How does Evah Pirazzi Gold compare to the standard Evah Pirazzi?
The Gold version is voiced for a warmer, more elegant tone with the same fast break-in and dynamic responsiveness as the standard Evah Pirazzi. Players who find the regular Evah Pirazzi slightly metallic or aggressive often prefer the Gold for its balanced warmth and brilliance.
