Hi Patrick
I am looking for a new set of strings for my Upright. I do about as much pizz playing as I do arco, so am really looking for something that will tick both boxes. This seems to be quite a rare thing, but after much noodling around on various sites on forums, it seems to come down to a choice between Thomastik Belcantos and Pirastro Evah Pirazzis.
I know this is very far from being an exact science and is vastly dependent on the bass itself, it's set up, and just plain personal taste. However I welcome opinions and wondered what your thoughts might be.
