Evah Pirazzi Bass Strings from Pirastro
Evah Pirazzi Double Bass
The tremendous success of Obligato bass strings encouraged Pirastro to
further develop double bass strings with a synthetic core. The result is Pirastro's
double bass string set Evah Pirazzi BASS.
Evah Pirazzi BASS strings offer outstanding tuning stability, a very
short playing-in-time, and a strong resistance to rolling. Similar to the Obligato
bass strings, Evah's are resistant to changes in humidity and temperature. All
strings are wound with chrome steel and smoothly polished for a very nice feel
in the hand.
Evah Pirazzi BASS is a hybrid
set, suitable for both Arco and Pizzicato playing. First and foremost the
bow response is excellent. When playing pizzicato the long sustain is most noticeable
and appreciated in a jazz application.
The powerful, warm, rounded
sound of Evah has an accentuated low-frequency range, exceptional resonance,
with a noticeably better sustain. The response time is quick - allowing for
easy left and right hand articulation. Due to the phenomenal projection of the
Evah Pirazzi bass strings, the beautiful richness of colors and nuances can
be heard even in big concert halls. The development of these bass strings was
aimed at producing a sound that is as close to gut strings as possible.
The following choices are
available:
Evah Pirazzi Orchestra (tunes
to G,D,A,E) Medium Gauge
Evah Pirazzi Orchestra Weich (tunes to G,D,A,E) Lighter Gauge. Due to
the reduced string tension the playability is very easy. It has a pronounced
core sound and compared to the "Standard" orchestra set the sound
is brighter with more growl and more sustain.
Evah Pirazzi Solo (tunes to A,E,B,F#) Thin Gauge
Pirastro's color code at the
tailpiece end is a black spiral on bright green silk.
