Eudoxa solo gauge?

[Thomas Erickson]

In this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWxvE...os=U-vYI8ehz3E video commentary they claim that Rinat Ibragimov is playing Eudoxa solo strings - I'd love to get a set, but I can't see anywhere online that Pirastro even makes such an animal...

Nice playing.

Looking at the Strings they seem to be Eudoxa's by the silk colors. Maybe the solo gauge set is a special order? Email Pirastro and ask them.

[Thomas Erickson]

Yes, he's a pretty amazing player!

I thought they looked like the right color too, but then from some angles I think the spiral looks a little more purple-ish. My Eudoxas are old and dirty, but the spiral looks more on the blue side. Violet, as Pirastro calls it. I think they make some solos that are kind of a red-ish purple spiral so maybe the person commenting was just mistaken...

I'll go send an email and see what they say.

The Blue over the white are the Original Flat Chromes. Many years ago they used to be called Eudoxa Flat Chrome. They made the Eudoxa in both Gut and steel core. Now they have two different names. To me the color looked dark purple/violet/lavender over the white. I guess you can just wait and see what Pirastro tells you.

That explains it - the ones I have are probably close to ten years old, but clearly gut, so yeah... nice of them to make it good and confusing eh...

I sent off the email to Pirastro and will report back here when I hear from them.

If anybody else knows what's up with these strings though, speak up!

Don't know about the strings, but thanks for posting that link. Beautiful playing!
