Pirastro Evah Pirazzi 1/2-3/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - Steel Ball-End E

I have been playing violin for over 30 years.My child now plays and has gone through several fractional violins.IMO..These strings produce a much better sound and make the child sound better...Just a tip.. even though your child will outgrow the violins it is important to invest in quality instruments and strings.Just some math - at $30 a lesson a week that is $1500 a year. Investing in higher quality fractional instruments (recommend buying a second hand though) sound way better, easier to play, and the child enjoys playing that much more..at the end you can keep or resale..I use these strings on all my violins... The E string sings....

My kid was going to a online violin competition so I got this for her. Brilliant sounds (toward to the bright side) even me cannot stop playing on her 1/2 violin! It has been two months and it still sounds good, as my kid practiced a lot during this time. And it's much cheaper than the adult version. I think it is a trick to hook you up. I hope she wouldn't be addicted to it or we'll go bankrupted!

The strings were rotten and broke

Nice sound. The first time we bought them, they lasted around six months. Second time, it's only been about 2.5 months and it looks like a few of the strings are going to break just below the pegs. I'm not sure if the quality has gone down or if there was something about the way my 13 year old installed them. I'm going to give them another try before switching brands or vendor.

I play bluegrass fiddle, and had used D'Addario Helicore for years, as it was recommended as having the right edginess for bluegrass tone. They were out of the usuals (I play a 3/4 fiddle), so I bought these Pirastros, after reading the reviews. Figured I'd substitute them one time and go back to the D'Addarios. Not going back. It is true that the Pirastro strings don't have the same 'twang' that the D'Addarios do, but I like the warmer sound. I get nice big, fat, tones, which is more pleasing to my ears.

Changes the tone

My kid's recording session is coming on next week and we were hurrying to change his strings, they arrived right the next day and Evah is always our favorite!

perfect, great quality at a great price
