Evah Pirazzi SLAP (Pirastro)
The Evah Pirazzi Slap set is a unique blend of modern and traditional core materials, combining a plain gut G and D with a synthetic core chrome steel wound A and E. The tone is dark and rich with great projection which is ideal for slap style but also great for old-school pizzicato and baroque arco styles. Optional synthetic core G and D strings are available for greater humidity resistance at a lower cost.
