    I was taught by a Viola player and I'm a violinist. The eva pirazzi gold for Viola sound wonderful! Don't change a thing! It sounds sumptuous! Best Viola I've heard in a long while! Very baroque, velvety posh and powerful! I would stay with those strings! Wonderful Viola tone! Your making me want to run out and buy eva pirazzi gold for my violin! It's an inspiring tone you've run across! Don't muck about! Stay! Keep! You've found your string! Very impressed! Thank you Professor! I do hear a goose quill in there some where! Or maybe I'm just daft! What ever your doing it's working! Those evea golds are perfectly balanced! Thank you!

    Have been using Evah Golds since I purchased my viola 7 years ago. I agree with everything said in this video. However I am only a casual player and they wear out in a year. Expect more often if you are a serious player.

    Dear Sir, do be careful to keep string tension low as in the past my eva greens a string separated at the nut. The windings developed a gap. I recommend you tune A 410 or A415hz to avoid gaps in windings. Also remember to use talk stick or graphite in all grooves to avoid hitching. Other than that I'm impressed with your Viola! Thank you so much! Over and out!

    To me they sound somewhat metallic, especially compared to the Warchal Ambers. Your Dominat Dynamo recording seems to suggest tha those give most power. WHat ones do you actually like most?

    Evah Pirazzi Gold: On my violin was an improvement but after three weeks, I felt it was wow! Viola E P Gold had similar; it was thrilling and worth the spend.

    Did you say that you put the strings on your instrument just THIS morning? I'd like a follow-up to know what they sound like in a few days and then also how long you are happy with them. For premium-priced strings, one would like them to last for awhile.

      I strung the viola up and played for a whole day before making the video! This ensured the strings were well broken in! For purposes of the video, I showed putting the strings on! Thank you for your input!

      @@RonaldHouston Thank you for the clarification. That fine point wasn't clear in the video. I'd still like a follow-up to see how well they last.

      @@annfrederking1878 For me, after almost a year of pirazzi gold, they lost some of the golden tone, but they still sounded better than d'dario prelude, which are entry-level strings. The cheap ones struggle to react to double stops, legato scales and higher positions, so I've switched to vision solo. Less expensive, but they still sounded warm.

    Which do you like best - 1. EVAH GOLD, 2. RONDO, 3. PI ? I am using a red winding JARGAR A and all metal A strings just do not sound warm enough for me. Suggestions?

      Hello viola bear! Definitely my answer would be Rondo... I made a video of it last year. Thomastik-infeld Rondo Strings Review by Ronald Houston
      ruclips.net/video/F6OmZzmMfpw/видео.html and plan to make an update very very soon ... Give them a try! They are wonderful! The evah pirazzi gold is good too..

    I love your video! Its great that you make content for violists. Now to my question, I have searched youtube for review of Evah Pirazzi Silver (Green) Viola strings and found none, but I have read the D and G strings are preffered over Golds. What is your personal opinion on this and will you perhaps make a review on them? Thank you! 🎻😃

    Greetings.
    Since good quality Viola string sets are on the pricey side, I always view Your string demos before I ourchasw a set,
    My first 100 % success was with the Warchall Brilliant set, fallowed by Dominant Pro and the Spirocore Thungston C.
    However, the Evah Pirazzi Gald I found that in both Violin as well as Viola is Anemic, sterile can not perform type.

    I put the Evah Pirazzi Weich scale (green sleeve) on my 16 inch viola and am very happy.

    No! No Spira core! Your eva golds balanced already at the factory! Your diameter will change and then the set willbe out of balance! If you want to muck about get eva greens g and d and put on prim trebble trings. Like Oistrach! I think though you will wish for eva golds throughout. Just a hunch!
