So I am sort of on the fence here, in March I received an email from someone I've been in communication with for almost 10 years almost daily she lives in Canada and I live in Indiana.

She informed me that I had a birthday coming up in three days and there would be a box on my porch that day and not to open it till the 17th of March my birthday.

Sure enough there it was a box on my porch and another the next day that she had not mentioned.

I received 2 escape room puzzle boxes and just about fell off my couch when I opened the last package to find a set of Eva Pirazzi gold strings.

I own 3 playable violins I've been through the wringer of what works and what doesn't, and instruments that I really didn't like.

For 4 years now I've been sticking to Ebenezer so named after Scrooge he was cheap yet looks and sounds like a rather stately instrument and for that time I've stuck to what seems to match up quite well D'addario Ascente.

The D'addario work alright with my other acoustic I've owned for 10 years now but sound a bit more baritone due to the fact that the bridge is a bit too fat and really should be replaced all together both acoustics are built on the strad template.

So my though is one the template really doesn't equate to sound its a template the "F" holes and "C" bouts from my understanding are different on a Guarneri yet even with Ebenezer being a Stradivari he has all the tonal aspects of a Guarneri.

My main concern here to get to the point is I wander how big of a change am I going to have by putting the Pirazzi strings on this instrument?

I mean how much brighter could they be?

Any thoughts are appreciated and thanks for reading.
