Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Viola Steel 323021 is a professional four-string set with metal cores for 4/4 viola. This version of Evah Pirazzi Gold is intended for players seeking immediate bow response, strong sound projection and a powerful lower register.
Sound and playing characteristics
The metal-core construction delivers quick response to bow movements, clear articulation and broad dynamic control. Pirastro's steel-core alternative combines a brilliant and powerful sound with tonal warmth, avoiding excessive metallic harshness.
The D, G and C strings use flexible steel rope cores, rather than single solid steel wires. This construction combines dimensional stability with flexibility. The D and G strings have chrome-steel windings, while the C string uses tungsten winding.
What makes 323021 different? Set 425021 uses synthetic-core D, G and C strings. Set 425091 combines the standard A, D and G strings with a steel rope-core C. The 323021 set uses metal cores for all four strings and has a total tension of 28.0 kg.

Selection and maintenance
Set 323021 is particularly suitable for violists seeking quick bow response and consistent behaviour across all four strings. Its total tension is higher than that of sets 425021 and 425091. The resulting tonal character will depend on the individual viola.
After playing, remove rosin dust using a soft, dry cloth. When changing strings, replace them one at a time to help preserve bridge position.
