The motto on every string envelope "I'm so happy I can't stop playing" is how I always feel when I change my strings. I have a Fischer viola, 15.25 inches but with a gorgeous sound. I have always been looking for a little more "punch" - but the complexity and generosity of the sound of the Evahs is a dream come true.
BUT the strings only last about three months. Suddenly they are resistant, brittle and tense with a more soprano sound than I can tolerate. So be prepared to go through a set every few months. It's a little like an addiction to something that gives you a huge high - and when you come down you crave more (from what I've heard anyway.) To get this sound, I gladly spring for a new set when they get old. Just keep that sound coming!

I love these strings on my Wladek Stopka viola. However, I found the A string to be of a completely different quality than the rest of the set. Also, the A had much more tension than the other strings which made it more difficult for me to play. The lower strings however, had a wide range of tone colors. I'm used to Helicore and I found that often I had the same clarity and focus whether I play at the bridge or over the fingerboard, but with these strings, I am able to produce a much wider variety of sounds. I also ordered a set of Pirastro permanent strings to try, I replaced the Evah A string with a Permanent and found it to match much better with the rest of the set. I'd like to try a Jargar with this set soon and see if it is a good match.
