Pirastro Rosin - Evah Pirazzi GOLD
Pirastro Rosin
Matched to Evah Pirazzi Gold.
Brilliant, full-spectrum sound.
Developed alongside the Evah Pirazzi Gold string set. Brings out the full sound spectrum, powerful projection, and excellent bow response those strings are built for.
What it is
Rosin engineered for one string set.
Pirastro developed the Evah Pirazzi GOLD rosin specifically alongside the Evah Pirazzi Gold strings. The pairing is intentional: the rosin formula is tuned to bring out the full sound spectrum of those strings rather than being a general-purpose product. Players using Evah Pirazzi Gold strings will notice that this rosin unlocks the strings' characteristic projection and warmth more completely than a standard rosin does.

Sound profile
Projection and warmth, together.
This rosin draws out the full frequency range of the Evah Pirazzi Gold strings: a seductive, warm core combined with powerful projection and a clear, fast bow response. It produces a sound that carries without being harsh, with an even tonal balance from the lowest to the highest string. Well-suited to players who want presence and richness in the same instrument.
How to use
Getting the most from it.
- Apply lightly before each practice session, using slow full-length strokes along the bow hair.
- The rosin pairs best with Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, but works well with other synthetic-core sets of similar tension.
- New bow hair requires several coats across the first few sessions to build an even foundation layer.
- Wipe rosin dust from strings and instrument top after each session.
Care and storage
Keep it in good condition.
Store in the original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Rosin is temperature-sensitive; avoid leaving it in a warm instrument case or car interior. Handle by the cloth to avoid oils from your hands degrading the rosin surface over time.
Questions
Common questions.
Do I need to use this rosin specifically with Evah Pirazzi Gold strings?
It was developed for that string set and performs best with it, but it will work with other synthetic-core strings too. If you are using Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, this rosin is the most direct way to access the full character of those strings.
How often should I apply rosin?
A few light strokes before each session is enough. Over-application will cloud the tone and cause excess dust build-up on the instrument.
Does rosin have a shelf life?
Rosin lasts many years when stored well. If the cake becomes brittle, glassy, or stops producing dust on the bow, it is past its best and worth replacing.
Can rosin cause skin or respiratory irritation?
Colophony (the resin base in most rosin) can irritate some players. If you experience symptoms, consider a hypoallergenic alternative. Rosin dust can be minimised by wiping strings and the instrument top after each session.
