When developing new strings for orchestral string instruments, personal contact and intellectual exchange with musicians play a very important role. Such is the case with Pirastro's new violin string set Evah Pirazzi Neo: designed in close collaboration and with the wonderful support of Janine Jansen. Together they developed a string set that offers great power and volume in its low frequencies, brilliance and focus across the entire sound spectrum and an inspiringly simple and direct response. In the words of Janine Jansen: “Excellent malleable sound, big, powerful, centered, noble and luminous. The strings stay in tune incredibly quickly, are very easy to work with from the start and feel extremely comfortable under the fingers.”

Using a new manufacturing process, Evah Pirazzi Neo synthetic strings are engineered to have exceptional tuning stability and are therefore ready to play immediately after installation. Their particular construction and carefully chosen materials generate a high carrying capacity and projection, which is notably supported by a unique E-string whose special gold coating provides depth and brilliance to the entire set. With extra support from technical measurements and analyses, they constructed the Evah Pirazzi Neo violin strings to have a distinctive overtone spectrum with strong fundamentals, resulting in an overall clear and powerful sound. Most importantly, they did not need to increase the tension of the individual strings to accomplish any of this.

Pirastro's new Evah Pirazzi Neo violin strings are an exciting addition to their Evah Pirazzi string family. Below describes the differences in sound between the various Evah Pirazzi violin strings.

• Evah Pirazzi (2000): This set of strings is characterized by an overtone-rich, rather bright sound and a relatively strong background noise, which ensures carrying capacity, power and projection.
• Evah Pirazzi Gold (2012): In contrast, these strings are designed to emphasize the warm, round and somewhat darker sound spectrum.
• Evah Pirazzi Neo (2025): In this new development, the background noise of the original Evah Pirazzi is reduced while maintaining the strings’ full carrying capacity and power. Evah Pirazzi Neo is designed to combine effortless note and string transitions with easy response, tonal clarity and far-reaching projection.

The three different sets in Pirastro's Evah Pirazzi violin string family allow musicians to customize their sets for both personal taste and the respective sound characteristics of their instruments.
