Pirastro Violino Strings - Michael Explains it All!

Музыка

Violino strings have a core made from a modern multifilament fiber. They are low-tension strings that remain stable regardless of variations in temperature and humidity. They offer a warm, smooth, round sound with excellent tuning stability.

They are a great choice for players with a bright, shrill or whiny instrument that are looking for a warmer and more open sound. For instruments with high action or high string height, Violino strings would also make playing much more comfortable because they have such a low tension.
E string: Steel (Loop or Ball)
A string: Aluminum over synthetic
D string: Silver over synthetic
G string: Silver over synthetic

    I love these strings. I've tried many others and still buy these over more expensive sets. I play gently to make my violin soft and sweet, rather than digging in. These are very easy to make sound good.

    My violin comes with this strings. Yeah fuzzy sound happened. But I'm kinda like it, very easy to play and very comfortable in fingers. But when comes to the comparison here I think I like the tonica, I'll try it later😁

    When you consider that you are getting a set for less than an Evah Pirazzi Viola C would cost you know what you’re getting - I would still probably suggesting Dominants over these though due to break in time but they could be a good spare set as they aren’t too bright so wouldn’t stand out stand out in an school orchestra for example.

    Michael, can you guys do a violin string comparison video of say Violinos, Cantigas, Tonicas, Alphayues, and ProArtes using say standard Dominants set (with a Pirastro gold E) as a baseline ?? I’ve come to my own conclusions on 3 out of the 6 already, but would like to hear a pro opinion before trying the other 3. I’m about getting the best bang for the buck on my instrument, as these things suck up cash. I guess you can’t speak to longevity in certain cases, but I’m sure you can speak to the tone and feel on the standard sets of these. Happy Holidays! 🥳

    Im playing this strings a few years on my old german violin at home and i think they sounds very beautiful and gorgeous. But at the irish sessions i can not hear myself together with another instruments. Not a big deal for me. I enjoy playing my instrument. Should i change them? Im not sure about it

    I really like your videos, Michael. Whitty, informative. But every now and then can you get someone like Marilyn Monroe talking to us in that really sexy voice? You just might sell out your strings? On another note, not a B# but how would you rate these with your Fiddlerman strings? Are they darker than Fiddlerman? Less strong in volume than Fiddlerman?
