I changed my violin strings on the weekend.

 


I took off my Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, which I've had on for a very long time (really too long) and put on a set of regular Evah Pirazzi strings.

The 'regular' strings have green
and black windings near the tailpiece.
The 'golds' have gold windings.

I have another set of 'golds' in my strings drawer but I  wanted to try the regulars again.

New strings always sound a bit louder and take a while to settle but these 'regulars' sound good. The E string is maybe a little quieter but also less temperamental when one plays the open string when coming from another string. Sometimes an open E string can be a bit funny when approached from another string.

I certainly won't be deviating from Evah Pirazzi strings (I use them on my double bass too) but it is nice to have a slight change once in a while.

I think the violin on my 
t-shirt could use a set of
Evah Pirazzi strings.

I thought The Curmudgeon would have commented by now.

I've noticed that he's sleeping in longer since he turned 70.

I identify with the G string but have an affinity for the A string.

I think you're asking for a part two.

Fill your boots. It'll still be better than reading Robert's posts on what some silly old guys in frocks have said.

I assume that, when one fills one's own boots, one is being oneself and speaking from a personal perspective.
