Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold 323321 is a professional individual G string for 4/4 viola, featuring a flexible steel rope core with chrome-steel winding. With medium tension of 6.3 kg, it is included in the Evah Pirazzi Gold Steel set 323021 and is intended for violists seeking immediate bow response, precise articulation and strong sound projection.
Sound and construction
The G string occupies a central position in the viola's middle and lower registers, linking the D and C strings. Its construction influences the initial attack, bow resistance and the character of transitions between registers.
Article 323321 uses a flexible multi-wire steel rope core rather than a single solid steel wire. This construction combines dimensional stability with a degree of flexibility, supporting a direct response to bow movement.
The chrome-steel winding provides the mass required for the string while offering a wear-resistant surface. The Evah Pirazzi Gold family is known for its brilliant, rich tone, strong projection and broad dynamic possibilities. Actual tonal results depend on the individual instrument and its setup.
323321 vs 425321 — which G string?
323321: steel rope core, chrome-steel winding and 6.3 kg tension. The original G string used in the all-metal-core 323021 set.
425321: synthetic core, silver winding and 5.7 kg tension. Included in sets 425021 and 425091. This version may appeal to players who prefer the response characteristics of synthetic-core strings.
String set compatibility
String 323321 is included in the Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Steel 323021 set, which uses metal cores for all four strings:
- A — 323121: steel / chrome steel.
- D — 323221: steel rope / chrome steel.
- G — 323321: steel rope / chrome steel.
- C — 323421: steel rope / tungsten.
When replacing the G string individually, consider the differences between synthetic and metal-core designs. They can affect bow feel, tension balance and the response of a particular viola.
