Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Viola 425091 is a professional medium-tension four-string set for 4/4 viola. Unlike the standard Evah Pirazzi Gold set, this version features a C string with a steel rope core and tungsten winding.
Sound and playing characteristics
Evah Pirazzi Gold strings are designed for a brilliant, rich tone with impressive projection, a broad range of tonal colours and extensive dynamic control. Their responsive character supports both delicate playing and powerful bow strokes.
The synthetic-core D and G strings are combined with a steel A string. The special rope-core C string provides a direct response and strong presence in the lower register. This configuration can appeal to violists looking for a more energetic low C without switching to a complete steel string set.
What makes 425091 different? Its C string uses a steel rope core with tungsten winding. The standard 425021 set has a synthetic-core C string with tungsten-silver winding. These are two distinct configurations within the same product family.

Choosing and maintaining the strings
This set is suitable for violists seeking a powerful lower register, fast response and broad dynamic range. Pirastro highlights the short break-in period and excellent tuning stability of the range. Wipe away rosin dust after playing with a soft, dry cloth.
Note: check compatibility with your tailpiece and instrument setup. The tonal difference between 425091 and 425021 depends on the individual viola.
