Pirastro Evah Pirazzi A Cello String, Steel Core, 4/4 - Heavy

Pirastro Evah Pirazzi A Cello String

The Pirastro Evah Pirazzi A Cello String combines a high-tensile steel core with chrome steel winding for a brilliant tone with underlying warmth. Full-size versions offer soft, medium, and strong gauges, allowing players to select different tension levels and tonal characteristics.

For musicians choosing a replacement steel A string, gauge selection provides a practical way to adjust an instrument's response. Soft favors a warmer sound, medium balances brightness with warmth, and strong adds brightness and volume relative to medium. These choices suit players refining their setup for solo repertoire, ensemble rehearsals, or everyday practice.

The construction supports controlled bowing across quiet and loud dynamics, along with stable tuning and prompt playability after installation. Pirastro also specifies suitability for electric and electrically amplified cellos. Consider the complete setup when selecting tension: changing one string's gauge can influence the sound of the other three strings.
