Eudoxa-Oliv Viola C String

Power and color

On my main instrument, Eudoxa-Oliv C paired with Eudoxa-stiff D&G, and Obligato A works very well. I have tried both the heavy gauge (19 3/4) and the regular (19 1/2). Regular has a one of a kind buttery sound, complex sound, but not as powerful. Heavy gauge has more power, less butter, but still warm and complex. Stretching takes a couple days, so change one string at a time. Gut strings last a long time and can be reused again if they remain un-frayed.

Olive C String

This C string has clarity resonance and focus without losing the quality that comes from the olive label.

New Level of Sound!

I am new to Pirastro strings in general. I am also new to using gut strings on my solo/chamber music concert instrument, though I have used gut strings on a baroque viola in the past for a Brandenburg 6 performance. I have not tried a new brand of strings for years, but, recently, one of my friends mentioned that Eudoxa strings have beautiful sound that he especially liked, and I decided to try... I think I am now going to completely "convert" to using Eudoxa strings from now on. They allow me to explore and produce more sophisticated sound colors than my previous strings, and the instrument now sounds warmer, deeper, and "sweeter" if I want it to sound like that. I find the strings incredibly responsive. They allow me to play in very fast tempi both in slurs and in separate strokes with a great clarity. I should have tried Pirastro Eudoxa earlier! Highly recommended!
