Viola strings Pirastro Eudoxa

Pirastro Eudoxa viola strings are modern wound gut strings with a sheep gut core. They were the most popular strings before the arrival of synthetic core strings, but are even today very much still in demand. Eudoxa strings are made by hand in a traditional way. They are mainly very suitable for older instruments that benefit from lower tension strings.

• Sheep gut core, polished winding
• Balanced, warm sound with good possibilities for tonal variation
• Low tension, comfortable for left hand
• Ideal for orchestra, chamber music and studio recordings
• Changing tension by 1/4 PM causes a tension change of 3%
• The A and D string have a ball end, the G and C string have a gut knot

The standard set consists of following strings:

• A string: gut, aluminum wound 14 (medium), 14 1/4 (heavy), 13 3/4 (light)
• D string: gut, silver-aluminum wound 16 (medium), 16 1/4 (heavy), 15 3/4 (light)
• G string: gut, silver wound 16 1/2 (medium), 16 3/4 (heavy), 16 1/4 (light)
• C string: gut, silver wound 21 (medium), 21 1/4 (heavy), 20 3/4 (light)

Extra options:

• G and C string stiff: a darker and more powerful sound than the regular version, slightly higher tension
• Alternative C string - Eudoxa-Oliv gut string, tungsten/silver wound 19 1/2 (medium) stiff: richer, deeper sound and more stable than a regular Oliv or Eudoxa string
