Mar 18, 2015 · Evah Pirazzi strings are used mostly by classical players. They’re synthetic-core strings, wrapped in steel and tungsten. They sound a bit warmer than Helicores and Prims but respond a touch more slowly, like a synthetic gut string would. At around $80 per set, Evahs are far and away the priciest string on this list.

Sep 17, 2020 · The Best Violin Strings For Beginners. As a new player, you won’t need to worry about strings straight away. Any reputable trader will provide high quality violin or fiddle strings with their instrument. If not, don’t worry, they’re easy to replace. I always advise beginner violin players to start with medium gauge, synthetic strings.
It’s all about strings: – The Fiddlehed site lists Dominant and Helicore strings on the “Gear” page.

Is this correct?

Jul 7, 2016 · Generally speaking, fiddlers don't use that many brands of steel strings. Unlike "wound" strings, the prices of Prim and Heliocore strings seem modest compared to Evah Parazzi, Obligato's, etc., so I don't worry about price. I think Prim's sound best on my instruments. Many people like Heliocore strings.
Jan 29, 2007 · 313. Posted January 30, 2007. I always use a tailpiece with 4 tuners built in. But on fiddles that I have worked on without the 4 fine tuners, they tune just like Dominants or most any other string. The bridge height is standard for any steel string and slightly lower for gut strings.

Apr 8, 2004 · On my acoustic fiddle : Corelli Crystals, cheaper than Dominants, quite a soft tone. Synthetic core. Good on a cheap fiddle, if that’s what’s you’ve got. The best I ever used (and still use them) are Obligatos, sweet bright tone, but very expensive. Synthetic core. I use Dominants on my Yamaha SV200 electric. Jim.
