Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Double Bass B String, Medium Overview
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi double bass strings are a synthetic core string range with a large and powerful sound thanks to the chrome steel winding. These strings are great all-around strings, performing well in both arco playing and pizzicato playing. The sound produced is big, dark and well-rounded. As this is the double bass, the lower frequencies are emphasised and there is an outstanding resonant decay.
Projection can be difficult on an instrument as low and relatively quiet as the bass, fortunately, the Evah Pirazzi double bass strings aid with the projection of the instrument and can really elevate your sound. The strings are resistant to changes in humidity and temperature making them perfect for travelling. The playing in time is also relatively short, so your strings won't take too long to stabilise after you first put them on.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDifferent tensions
Like many strings, Evah Pirazzis are available in two tensions. Weich (light), Mittel (medium. These different tensions allow you to choose the best tension for your playing style and instrument. Lighter tensions tend to respond faster to the bow and are less tiring for new players or for extended periods of playing. You may find one tension will match your playing better, or maybe complement your instrument's natural sound more.
Alternate strings available
Pirastro has produced a comprehensive selection of strings in the Evah Pirazzi range to suit players with many types of double bass. You are able to get Evah Pirazzis in solo tuning (AEBF#) in a set and individually, allowing you to have the same sound for solo pieces. You can also get a 2.1m E string if your bass has a low C extension installed. A low B string is also available for five-string double basses.
Exclusive new core material
For the Evah Pirazzi, Evah Pirazzi Gold, Obligato and Violino string types, Pirastro have developed a new synthetic material for the core. This is exclusive to Pirastro and won't be seen in any other brand of strings. The new material offers an unmatched variety of timbres with rich overtones. It also provides complete resistance to fluctuations in temperature and humidity bringing incredible tuning stability and an impressive dynamic range that can bring out the nuances from pianissimo to fortissimo.
About Pirastro
Pirastro was founded in 1798 as "Giorgio Pirazzi and Sons". It all started with Giorgio Pirazzi who learned the craft of string making across Italy and then moved to Offenbach, Germany and began his company. Nearly a century later, Pirazzi's grandson invited his friend, Theodore Strobel, to join him as a business partner. They combined the beginnings of their names together to create Pirastro. Today Pirastro is still run by the Pirazzi family and makes high-quality strings that are used by musicians all over the world and at the very highest standards of performance.
