Evah Pirazzi Neo —
setting a new benchmark
Developed in close collaboration with Janine Jansen. Synthetic violin strings with a unique balance of power, clarity and immediate playability.
About Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Neo
Evah Pirazzi Neo is Pirastro's new flagship synthetic violin string, developed in 2025 in close collaboration with the outstanding violinist Janine Jansen. It is the third generation of the Evah Pirazzi family, following the original series (2000) and Evah Pirazzi Gold (2012).
In Janine Jansen's own words: "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."
Key innovation: Thanks to a new manufacturing process, Evah Pirazzi Neo offers exceptional tuning stability and is ready to play immediately after installation — with no extended break-in period. Full carrying power is achieved without increasing string tension.
