Jargar Evoke Violin Strings- Michael Explains it All

[@Aditya.Chander]

I'm loving these strings -- I've been using them for a few months now and they're staying strong, bright and resonant on my neutral-to-dark violin. Jargar sent me a trial set and they haven't deteriorated at all.

[@JacquesLuu]

how did u get trial set ?

[@dvides89]

That intro needs to go into every Michael Explains it all 😂😂😂 that was great

[@Creationhorse]

I'd love to see a review of the Jargar Superior and compared to PI and Larsen Virtuoso and other comparable sets.

[@Soulill0quy]

I haven’t thought about O-Town in years. Way to bring it back!

[@laralovesviolins6510]

Thank you for explaining so well!

[@Fiddlershop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patfiddles]

I liked your scorecard. In addition to hearing the difference between the strings, I would be curious to see the scorecard before the sound comparisons with the Evah Pirazzi results overlaid in another color. This way when someone listens to the comparison, they know what to "look" for so to speak. It's easier to hear the difference if you know what you're listening for...plus you might have to listen more than once; a serious buyer would do that. Thanks for the video- enjoyed your selection.

I just ordered Thomastik Infeld Vision strings from you guys, I can’t wait to get them! Thank you! 🎻💕

[@kimmyviolinmedina0406]

Also Michael cracked me up thus episode 🤣🎻

[@Fiddlershop]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Fiddlershop]

He cracks us up too all the time 🤣

[@kimmyviolinmedina0406]

@@Fiddlershop That is wonderful haha! 🤣🎻

[@chiefkev]

To my ear, the Superiors sound the best of all-by a lot. It’s a richer sound, but just as much carrying power, that is with all the other variables being equal in your recording, i.e. bow pressure, bowing speed, distance from mic etc. Likely my personal taste being a cellist.

[@Fiddlershop]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ssb73q]

Hi OG (not opera ghost), thank you for your review. In your opinion what are the best violin strings for less than $70?

[@VicariousAdventurer]

They seem very bright, my instrument is a little dark, it may be overcorrection, but I'll have to try.

[@Creationhorse]

Are the 3 Jargar violin sets going to be put on the Fiddlershop string comparison chart?

[@cheekychiko]

I think EP green sounds better I. This video. It seems that EP green helps you with connecting the gap between every note.

[@fredericgrolleauditkendall9719]

Could you also make a video about the Jargar Superior and compare them to the Evoke ? With a comparative graph, scorecard. Thanks in advance. In this video, Superior seem to have a better sound. For information, Joshua Bell uses Jargar Superior for A-D-G and an E Goldbrokat Extra High (.28 mm)

[@Fiddlershop]

Great suggestion! Added to the list. Thanks for watching!

[@fredericgrolleauditkendall9719]

@@Fiddlershop If I may add a suggestion, it would be excellent to do something that I don't think anyone has done yet : a video, longer than usual and with grah/scoreboard of each string, in which you compare and play the top-range solo strings side by side (a few examples : Perpetual, Perpetual Cadenza, PI, Rondo Classic and Gold, Il Cannone Direct & Focused, Il Cannone Gold, EP Green and Gold, Jargar Superior and Evoke, Passione Solo...) This would make it possible to see and hear all the main strings in a single video, which would be easier, simpler, more practical, more precise and complete etc. than having to jump from one video to another on the web and made by different people. In addition, it would be easier to perceive the differences between each string as the same person would play them on the same violin and everything else. ;) But this may not be possible...

[@loveearth262]

I never use this jargan evoke but for the MJZ tipe of violin I think its very good t combine. I thought pirazzy is the best but my mind is changing. Many string like thomastik PI and dynamo very good for classic piece

[@Fiddlershop]

Thanks for watching! There are so many different options, it makes hard to choose.

[@orachosittichai8837]

what is the name of the beautiful song that you play.

[@Fiddlershop]

Thanks for watching. The piece is the Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

[@vanessaebony529]

I've had an affair with Thomastik with.... Jargar. THomastik was my go to, however I love Jargar. So far just the superior the stores in my area don't have the evoke, but I will tell you that Superior are great if you love Evah Pirazzi Green. I also like the sound I get from the e strings.

[@Creationhorse]

How long do the Superiors last compared to Evah greens?

[@vanessaebony529]

@@Creationhorse Depending on how intense a player you are, I'm pretty intensive so I can get mine to 5-6 months I play monday through friday 5 hours and Saturday 8 hours again, so a concert violinist would probably use them up more. Plus I changed to Jargar and Larsen because the prices of Thomastik keep going up and then they come out with new sets that are 150. The Jargar's have a sweet sound

[@Creationhorse]

@@vanessaebony529 So, you are saying that Jargar Superior lasts 5-6 months for you? I'm currently using Larsen Virtuosos. I don't know how long they will last, as this is my first set. The D string seems a bit weak. Evah Greens hurt my left hand finger tips (I have small fiber neuropathy). Are the Jargar Superiors high tension like Evahs? If so, they probably will hurt my fingers. Just wanting to decide what set to try next.

[@vanessaebony529]

@@Creationhorse Yes, that's how long they lasted me I don't play professionally I mostly teach. I honestly don't know if they're high tension as they only sell one version. I used on my 1920 french violin and my modern one and they sounded good on both. I find it easier playing sul G on it compared to other strings and they're very soft. I have not tried larsen Virtuoso I've only used the Cannone Solo and they lasted 3-4 months but sounded nicer than Evah.

[@saea58]

Thank you. In 3 months I will be interested in replacing my strings. We'll talk then. 👍🌷

[@Fiddlershop]

Sounds good!

[@LordCarmesimXXVII]

These are the pirate's strings, jarrrr.

[@anjinsanx44]

Like evoke

[@issacsiavashani6532]

you might as well use steel core.

[@Fiddlershop]

Thanks for watching! It all depends on the players needs :) There are plenty of options to meet a players specific needs

[@michaelwhisman]

I doubt that 1 out of 1000 people play good enough to hear the difference.

[@TNungesser]

Nice video. By the way, we are here to inform you that your car warranty is about to expire.

[@Fiddlershop]

Thanks for watching! LOL
