String Set Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold 4/4 for Violin, G-Silver (Ball-End E)
The same Evah Pirazzi Gold, this time with a silver-wound G — article 415921 at 4.9 kp in place of the gold one. Modern synthetic core, 4/4 size, mittel gauge; E in solid stainless steel with a ball end, A aluminium-wound, D silver-wound. Total tension is 23.1 kp, a tenth above the gold-G version. Pirastro describes the silver G as a "very dynamic sound which emphasizes a more brilliant tone". Both lower strings here are wound in the same metal, so the bass pair behaves as one unit with no shift of character in the middle.
🏆 SoundsGood — genuine Pirastro strings only, handmade in Germany.
Silver G: Dynamics Instead Of Roundness
Silver behaves differently from gold on the G: instead of the roundest possible tone it gives more sparkle and reacts more visibly to a change of bow pressure. Pirastro calls it a "very dynamic sound which emphasizes a more brilliant tone". Choosing silver makes sense on an instrument that is already dark, where the bottom needs opening up rather than smoothing over.
A Matched D And G Pair
Both lower strings in this set are silver-wound — 4.7 kp on the D, 4.9 kp on the G. The same metal means the same response: a phrase crossing the D-to-G boundary keeps its character all the way through, which is easier to bow than a mixed metal-and-gold pair. In orchestral and chamber writing, where that boundary comes up constantly, it saves real attention.
Projection From Bottom To Top
Pirastro claims "impressive projection" and a "full-bodied and big sound from the very bottom to the top of the register" for Gold. The 23.1 kp is laid out so the set keeps its density across the range: the top on solid steel does not thin out, the bottom on silver does not boom. Add a core insensitive to temperature and humidity plus a very short break-in, and the set is ready for work almost immediately.

This version suits the player with a dark instrument who wants a brighter, more mobile bottom end, the orchestral violinist who lives around the D-to-G boundary, and anyone who has tried Gold with the gold G and would trade ultimate roundness for more dynamic range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does set 415091 contain?
E in solid stainless steel with a ball end (8.0 kp), A aluminium-wound (5.5 kp), D silver-wound (4.7 kp) and G silver-wound (4.9 kp). Size 4/4, mittel gauge, 23.1 kp total.
Why 23.1 kp and not 23.0 kp?
Because of the G: the silver version measures 4.9 kp against 4.8 kp for the gold one. Every other string is identical in both sets, so that single tenth is the whole difference.
Silver G or gold G — which one?
Silver is the more dynamic and brilliant of the two, gold the rounder and fuller. On an instrument that is already thick at the bottom, silver adds definition; if the bottom is hard and needs gathering, the gold-G set 415021 is the better call.
Can I add the gold G to this set later?
Yes — it is sold separately as article 415421 at 4.8 kp and goes straight onto the G in place of the silver 415921, with nothing else in the set changing.
Is there a loop-end E version of this set?
Yes, article 415095 — identical contents with a loop-end E instead of the ball end.
Are these genuine Pirastro strings?
Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine Pirastro product, handmade in Germany, in branded envelopes marked with article numbers.
