I admit, I make plenty of mistakes. But with this string, perfection!! I’m always playing in the right temperament. As if I can’t go wrong. So appreciated to have! Sound quality is tremendously improved from Prelude strings.

Fantastic E string! I kept hearing how many use this E, replacing more expensive E's with it. So I decided why not try it?!? It's so inexpensive! Well, it's fantastic. Buy it!

I see a lot of better violinists using this E string, often substituting it for the E that comes in the Dominant set or other string sets. I'm not sure why, exactly, after all steel wire is steel wire, right? Well, I needed an E string so I figured I'd try this one. Actually, it's a pretty nice E string at that. It tunes up quickly, holds its pitch, sounds powerful but sweet, not shrill on my Holstein Bench Strad copy. I'd likely use it again.

I have never used Pirastro GOLD E strings before but I must say I am impressed!I put it on my Ivan Bizov violin and just wow! I was using Westminster heavy 27.5 and it too is a really good E string. But this Pirastro is louder and produces more tone. I will have to see just how long it lasts.

With a faculty recital in November 2020 on my list of performances, I changed out my old Thomastik Dominant violin strings for 3 new Thomastik strings and used this string for the E string because I needed an E with a loop end. All of my strings sounded fabulous; my violin sounded even more expensive and the strings sang with a great presence and depth. I performed Beethoven Romanze in F major, and I am extremely pleased with the recording, despite the microphone settings being muddy. The strings gave me enough volume to sound very present with an organ accompanist playing with EXTREMELY loud dynamics. This is a string I would definitely recommend and would buy for my violin again. I play professionally at least once per week and my strings can make or break my reputation, so having confidence in a particular make and brand of string brings me great comfort!

This is the second time I buy this particular e string where in between I had a Hill, Varchal, Goldbrokat (not bad at all for the price) and a couple of others. Other than Hill most tended to deteriorate in sound quality after a couple of months and a few even snapped unexpectedly. The Pis sounds longer than most and has a relatively warm sound. The main challenge is that it whistles like crazy and you need to practise much harder to tame it. Overall, for the price you get a very decent e string. In my case, I tend to like a darker sound and this e string fits well.

Right now I have a red label string on a and g, dominant on d, and now my Pirastro e. This string doesn't just sound good, rich and full bodied, but it helps me play better. Once I replace the red labels with dominants I'll be good to go, but this Pirastro is a good start. I was waiting to have the money to get the dominant (adg) + pirastro e set but couldn't wait, and I believe if you're going to have just one excellent string it should be the e. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pirastro's Gold Label is probably Pirastro's most popular gut string and with good reason! The sound is very bright and crisp, with even tones all around. Other Pirastro labels like the Eudoxa or Oliv are warmer or darker in tone and give a more specific type of sound that will bring out the different tonal registers, depending on which label you buy. But the gold label is the all-around baseline, beautiful-sounding strings that make your violin sound even livelier and richer than you've been used to if you've never tried these before and have been used to Dominant strings. They are more expensive, but worth every penny. If you're serious about performance, these strings are definitely the way to go. Understandable in just practicing for hours, you could use Dominant strings, but for performance, I would highly recommend either the Gold label or try another Pirastro label.
