Maestro Strings Compared with Evah Pirazzi, Obligato, Larsen, Dominant

You can order Maestro Strings from http://MaestroSupplies.com. Dietrich Lasa compares Maestro Strings with Evah Pirazzi, Obligato, Larsen and Dominant violin strings. The Question is: How big is the difference? This leades to another question: If Maestro Strings are in the same category as the other strings then would it be a good idea to consider Maestro Strings as an in expensive alternative?

You can choose the same Goldbrokat E string with loop end. We carry both. Just send a note with your order to support [at] maestrosupplies [dot] com

Maestro Strings I recommend

[DietrichLasa]

We now sell Maestro Strings (G, D, A) together with the Goldbrokat E String.

I'm thinking about buying the Giuseppe Marcello. But i was wondering if it is possible to change the tailpiece, pegs, and endpin of the violin?

[DietrichLasa]

@zibob1000 Sure, zibob1000. Recently I was asked to make a video of a concert featuring Ilya Konovalov, Concertmaster of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra. I noted that he had a tail piece with integrated string adjusters on his Strad that he had inherited from Henrik Schering. If he thinks it's a good idea, then why should we pretend that we need to use more effort, risking wear and tear of the peg holes by using pegs for tuning when we could use fine tuners?

Eva Pirazzi is overall the best. Judging by the E. Low strings are all good, different, more or less gritty, dark or projecting, but the A and E are problematic with Maestro.

WOW...I'm looking for strings and heard a professional play on Obligatos and loved them. Hear them hear and love them even more!!! They make the violin sound so mature! I have a newer violin (less than two years old) so that may be why I notice the difference.

[turidaisukiningen]

Evah Pirazzi is awesome.

U guys should try it.

@AchievingMyDreams I take that back, he needs to play in tune to get a fair judging of the strings.

And no vibrato.

On This violin,

Pirazzi>Maestro

Pirazzi>Obligato

Pirazzi vs Larsen I couldn't really tell because of tuning.

Dominant loses to all of them.

[thesock339]

@AchievingMyDreams That would be because of the break-in period for most strings.

I love the Obligatos. Used to use Dominants but they seem to be different now somehow.

[AchievingMyDreams]

He's out of tune for half of the string testings....

[nexus23de]

I am testing out these strings right now. They have a nice tone, are responsive, and not hard to play. They do feel a bit thin/cheap under my fingers, maybe because I am used to a little higher tension strings. The feel of the A string could be better. Summarized: they are pretty good for the price.

With your way of playing it makes no difference even if you play Stardivarius violin or some Chinese can. Not to mention the strings...
