Evah Pirazzi Platinum Violin E String

I put this on my violin alongside PI's and love the results. If this E string lasts as long as the other platinum E, we may have a winner.

I have been playing the violin for 13 years. Since then, I have transitioned from student to intermediate, and from advanced to a fine old violin that is quite complex and powerful, but also whose tone needed coaxing out on the higher-end of the harmonics.
I had an Evah Pirazzi goldsteel E on it before the anxiously awaited arrival of this new Platinum E... so when I got it from Shar in the mail just the other day, I installed this E and let it sit for half a day while it settled in to the rest of the set of
Evah Golds- when I brought it back up to pitch and began playing, I noticed the open E string didnít have that metallic ëhissí or ëtwangí that many of them do out of the package. It actually sounded full. Not only that, but the left-hand feel is just superb.
Different, but superb. Itís very easy to shift into higher positions up the fingerboard, the tone is radiant but crystal-clear, and yet with a striking warmth and complexity that didnít quite exist on my instrument before, and the response is dead-on. It's
improved my violinís fullness of tone, response, and sound color in every aspect! No looking back now! Thanks, Shar!

On my violin, which is warm and open sounding, provenance not agreed upon, mid-20th century, the Evah Platinum E (medium/26.7 gauge) projects better than any other E-string that Iíve tried. I donít quite understand it - itís otherwise a fairly warm and round-sounding e-string, unusually soft and supple in feel. Itís amazing. My violin tends to like heavier tension e-strings - you may prefer the light gauge version, but I donít.
