Set value
Save $15, plus the matched response of a complete pack
Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
All four strings are voiced together by Pirastro for the same tension profile. You get a matched response from C through A without mixing voicings or brands.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $15 versus the four individual strings, and removes the friction of ordering one string at a time.
Ready out of the packet
Allow 24 to 48 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle, then the set is ready for solo, chamber, and orchestral work.
About Evah Pirazzi Gold
Warmth, brilliance, and expressive range.
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold viola strings are the premium-tier variant within the Evah Pirazzi family. The Gold version shifts the balance toward warmth while retaining the projection and dynamic range that made the Evah family popular with soloists and chamber musicians.
The result is a full-bodied tone with a radiant shimmer that enhances overtone complexity without hardening the sound. Players who want expressive depth alongside reliable projection choose Evah Gold when they find the standard Evah too bright for their instrument or style.

Frequently asked
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold viola set, in short.
What is included in the Evah Pirazzi Gold viola set?
The set includes all four strings for a 4/4 viola: A, D, G, and C, one of each, all in medium tension, in Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold's synthetic core construction.
How does this differ from the standard Evah Pirazzi set?
The standard Evah Pirazzi is brighter and more cutting. The Gold version shifts toward warmth and tonal complexity while keeping the projection and dynamic range, making it better suited to instruments that are already bright or players who prefer a warmer palette.
Why is the set cheaper than buying the four singles?
The set is $304 versus $319 for the four singles totalled, saving $15. The bigger reason most violists buy as a set is tonal balance: all four strings are voiced together for matched response from C through A.
How long do new strings take to settle?
Allow 24 to 48 hours of normal playing for pitch to stabilise. Retune gently in small increments during the settling period.
