Pirastro 1EPGLD Evah Pirazzi Gold Viola D String, Silver-Wound, 4/4, Medium

Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Viola D String

The Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Viola D String is a silver-wound, synthetic-core replacement for a 4/4 viola. It combines medium tension with a ball-end attachment and a multifilament fiber core. This construction supports tonal flexibility, giving players scope to shape quiet phrases and stronger passages through changes in bow pressure.

For players preparing chamber repertoire, orchestral parts, or solo material, this silver-wound viola replacement string offers a practical individual replacement. Its synthetic construction supports varied articulation and a broad range of tonal colors. Choose this medium tension D string when maintaining a matching setup or renewing one position without replacing every string. The series also features a short break-in period to help streamline preparation after installation.

Pirastro specifies this D within its standard viola set, alongside a steel/chrome-steel A, silver-wound G, and tungsten-silver C. Rose-colored peg-end silk helps identify the pitch, while gold/black silk marks the tailpiece end. The manufacturer lists both envelope and straight packaging with the same core, winding, size, and tension specifications. These construction details help players select a replacement consistent with their existing string arrangement.
