G String Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold 4/4 for Violin
The G string of Evah Pirazzi Gold with its pure gold winding, sold separately: synthetic core, 4.8 kp, mittel gauge, 4/4 size, ball end, article 415421. The G holds up the whole instrument, and it is the winding that decides whether that foundation reads as gathered or smeared. Gold is denser than silver, so the winding layer is thinner and the string stays flexible — Pirastro states the result plainly as a "round and full tone". The second version of the same string, 415921, is silver-wound and, in the maker's words, more dynamic and brilliant.

Wound With Pure Gold
Gold is among the densest metals ever used on a string, so it reaches the mass it needs in a thinner layer. A thinner layer means a more flexible string, and a flexible string starts faster at low frequencies: the G does not need a run-up, it speaks from the first millimetre of bow. The timbre that comes out is round and filled-out, with no metallic edge on top.
4.8 kp: The Foundation Of The Gold Set
In the gold-G set the total is 23.0 kp, and 4.8 kp of it sits on this string. That is a modest number, but it is where the part of the sound Pirastro calls "full-bodied ... from the very bottom of the register" is made. Low tension with a heavy winding is a rare combination: the mass is there while the effort of stopping the string stays small.
Gold Or Silver: 415421 Versus 415921
Pirastro makes the Gold G two ways: gold (4.8 kp) for a round, full tone and silver (4.9 kp) for a more dynamic, more brilliant one. The choice is straightforward — if the instrument's bottom is hard or shouty, gold gathers and smooths it; if the bottom is already dull, silver adds definition. Either version drops into any Gold set.

Who It's For

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the gold winding differ from silver?
Pirastro describes the gold G (415421, 4.8 kp) as a "round and full tone" and the silver one (415921, 4.9 kp) as more dynamic with an emphasis on brilliance. The difference is in the character of the bottom rather than in volume.
What is its tension?
4.8 kp in mittel gauge. Within set 415021 and its 23.0 kp total, that is the second-smallest share after the D.
How is this string terminated?
Ball end. There is no loop-end G in the Gold series — only the E comes with a loop option.
Which sets is it fitted in?
415021 (ball-end E) and 415025 (loop-end E) — both gold-G configurations of the series.
Does this G come in weich or stark?
No. Evah Pirazzi Gold is made in mittel gauge and 4/4 size only, so no other version of the gold G exists.

Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine Pirastro product, handmade in Germany, in branded envelopes marked with article numbers.
