Question

MyGear · Accepted Answer

Choose a Pirastro string that matches your instrument, the string you need to replace and the required end fitting. The options here include violin E and A strings, a viola G string and a cello A string.

For violin, the Evah Pirazzi Gold Violin E String has a loop end, while the Chromcor Violin A String has a ball end. They replace different strings, so check both the string position and the fitting your instrument requires before ordering.

For viola, the Obligato Viola G String has a ball end. For cello, the Evah Pirazzi Gold Cello A String also has a ball end. These are individual strings, not complete sets.

The supplied product details establish compatibility basics, but do not provide enough information to compare tone, feel or durability between the ranges.
