Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
All four strings share the same Evah Pirazzi Gold voicing. The balance across the instrument is designed as a matched set, not assembled from individual choices.
Better price per string
The complete set is $20 less than buying the four strings individually, at the same Pirastro quality and construction.
Ready out of the package
Evah Pirazzi Gold is known for remarkably short break-in. A fresh complete set settles uniformly, reaching consistent tone and tuning faster than mixing old and new strings.
About Evah Pirazzi Gold
Modern steel engineering with an expressive, elegant voice.
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold pairs modern steel construction with a tone that sounds anything but metallic. The result is a clear, full, character-rich sound that projects easily without the glare often associated with steel-core sets. Balanced power with a warmth that rewards nuanced bowing across the full dynamic range.
The set 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. SKU 179910.

Playability
Quick bow starts, stable under every condition.
Evah Pirazzi Gold offers quick bow starts, smooth legato, and crisp articulation. 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. The short break-in makes this a practical choice for players who need a string that performs immediately, whether for solo performance, chamber work, or orchestral service.

Frequently asked
Evah Pirazzi Gold set, in short.
What is included in the set?
The set includes all four strings: A, D, G, and C in Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Medium. SKU 179910, each string in its own Pirastro packaging.
Why is the set cheaper than buying the strings separately?
Pirastro prices the set to encourage complete replacements. Replacing all four at once ensures tonal coherence and consistent break-in, which is why the set is priced below the sum of individual strings.
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 or unfocused.
How long do new strings take to settle in?
Break-in is remarkably short. 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.

We can match the string to the instrument.
