D String Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold 4/4 for Violin
The D string from the Evah Pirazzi Gold set, sold on its own: synthetic core, silver winding, 4.7 kp — the lightest tension in the whole set — mittel gauge, 4/4 size, ball end, article 415321. On a violin the D is the timbre string: the inner voices live here, and a change of winding shows up on it sooner than on the outer strings. Silver is a dense metal, so the winding layer stays thin while the tone turns darker and richer without booming. Combined with the lightest tension in the set, that gives a string which answers the smallest amount of bow pressure.

Silver On The D: Density Buys Colour
Silver is heavier than aluminium, so at the same winding thickness the string gains mass — and the sound turns darker and thicker. In the middle register that is exactly what you want: the D does not thin out next to the aluminium A but keeps its own, noticeably warmer voice. The limiting factor here is not volume but colour, and silver on the D is spent entirely on colour.
4.7 kp: The Lightest String In The Set
Of the four Gold strings this one carries the least tension — 4.7 kp against 8.0 kp on the E. In practice that is the lowest response threshold in the set: piano on the D takes almost no effort, and even an airy, barely-there bow still produces a full tone. The same low tension makes wide vibrato comfortable, with no sense of the string pushing back.
One Targeted Replacement In A Gold Set
Article 415321 is the D fitted in every factory Gold set — 415021, 415025, 415091 and 415095 — so it goes into any configuration regardless of whether your G is gold or silver. When the set as a whole still speaks but the middle register has gone flat, changing one string beats changing four.

One D string in a branded Pirastro envelope showing its article number and gauge — the same D that ships inside factory Evah Pirazzi Gold sets.
Who It's For
A separate D suits the player whose middle register lost its colour before the rest of the set, anyone building a Gold set piece by piece, and the violinist who spends much of the day in third position on the D and wears that string out first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What winding and tension does this D have?
A silver winding over a modern synthetic core, 4.7 kp, mittel gauge, 4/4 size.
Why is its tension the lowest in the set?
That is how the Gold set is laid out: 8.0 kp on the E, 5.5 kp on the A, 4.8 or 4.9 kp on the G and 4.7 kp on the D. The lightest string gives the easiest response where colour matters more than volume.
How is it terminated?
Ball end, like the other Gold strings apart from the E, which also exists in a loop-end version.
Which sets does it fit?
All four factory Evah Pirazzi Gold configurations: 415021, 415025, 415091 and 415095.
Can I fit this D to an Evah Pirazzi stark set?
Technically yes, but it shifts the balance: the stark set uses D article 419331 at 5.0 kp, 0.3 kp more than this one. Do it deliberately, if a lighter middle is what you are after.
Are these genuine Pirastro strings?
Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine Pirastro product, handmade in Germany, in branded envelopes marked with article numbers.
