Would you advise against using alcohol for cleaning your Oliv, Gold, Eudoxa & Chorda gut strings for cello?
Dear Gasparo In order to get the very best sound and response quality you should remove any remaining rosin from the strings. During breaks in playing, we recommend that you wipe off any remaining rosin from the strings with a soft cloth. To ensure the integrity of your strings, we recommend cleaning your strings at least once a week with a string cleaner. However, this liquid may contain alcohol and should never come into contact with the varnish of your instrument. Use the cleaner sparingly - a small drop on the cloth is enough. Ensure that you protect the instrument with a clean dry cloth as you clean the strings; you should place it between the strings and the fingerboard. You can use a string cleaner for all wound gut strings. Only plain gut strings should be cleaned without any string cleaner using a soft cloth only.
@@pirastroofficial many thanks, that’s very helpful advice. I’m much obliged for your time. 👍
He is a true master of the violin for our generation! He makes the strings sing with absolute artistry.
Then why does it cost like more than 200 USD? Shouldn't you make this affordable?
Thanks for your feedback. The PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA is made from a proprietary sound-optimized synthetic material, it is an ultra-light shoulder rest that has been designed both ergonomically and acoustically. When it comes to feather weight, Pirastro’s shoulder rests are in a class of their own with both our rests for violin weighing a mere 32 grams. With the weight of our rests being less than 8% of that of the instrument itself, we can design for direct and unsuspended contact, one of the conditions for an acoustically superior rest. It allows our rests to vibrate in harmony with your instrument, contributing to an unmatched string response and unaltered colors of sound. The instrument simply feels completely alive!
He never says what strength his Pirazzis are.. I assume they're in medium gauge since he doesn't ever comment on it, is that correct?
Yes, he uses the Evah Pirazzi medium gauge combined with a Gold E Stark.
@@pirastroofficial I'm sure that'll be an upgrade from my old tonicas
He clearly stated that the E string was graded Strong.
@@nickiemcnichols5397 Yeah but I was talking about the other strings, thanks for trying to help though :)
I really wanted to know the difference between Luna and model 2
Please have a look to our Instagram where we described the most relevant differences and similarities: instagram.com/p/C0g6AmuuG7k/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== instagram.com/p/C0je0OxsX7Y/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== instagram.com/p/C0mDjnuMN_P/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
My son has had 3 korfkerRest and despite spending hours watching the videos, reading the Manuel, taking it to veteran luthiers in Chicago and multiple master teachers, all three are unusable because they fall off, including during a concerto competition, lessons, practice, and two orchestra performances where my son was the concert master. He likes the lightweight (which is why we have tried three since august 2022) but after spending more hours adjusting and following the Manuel and videos precisely, we are done. Based on our experience, which has embaressed and demoralized our son, and comments from teachers and luthiers who recounted similar experiences, we are extremely disappointed.
Dear @gcourtneyholohanmueller1632, we are sorry to hear about your son’s experience. From your feedback it sounds like he has been having trouble with setting up his PIRASTRO KorfkerRest Model 2, not the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA shown in the above video. Please don't hesitate to take advantage of our customer support team which usually helps to solve any issues within days. We can assure you that the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest Model 2 is being used by countless musicians worldwide who swear by it. We are however aware that a small number of players have trouble with setting it up. In those cases we are more than happy to help. Please contact us at: shoulderrests@pirastro.com With the introduction of the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA we now also offer a shoulder rest which focuses on ease of use without compromising on comfort and sound. Many happy customers love how easy it is to set up. The PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA shoulder rest fulfills the demands of individual adaptability by using a simple click-system for easy and secure personal adjustments.
Thank-you! I purchased and just received my PIRASTRO KorfkerRest® LUNA®, and I love it! I've tried it on both my carbon fiber fiddle and my pre-1890 wood fiddle, and it REALLY makes both sound better (allows more projection and clearer sound). Oh, and it fit the instruments and me right out of the box, I did not need to adjust anything. Thank-you again! 🙂🎻
Thanks for your great feedback. Enjoy playing with your PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA.
I am proud of being a modern violinist who uses chorda strings. I can get closer to every composer 👍🏼
Which type Perpetual?
At that time he has used the Cello Perpetual Set Soloist mostly.
Augustins voice on his instrument is unparalleled.
Thank you Pirastro and Mr. Korfker, for your indefatigable work to design and manufacture this wondrous Luna shoulder rest. I had wanted to try the Korfkerrest V2 for a long while, but decided to buy this one recently. The Luna is marvelous indeed-supremely comfortable, allows me to hold my violin with utter relaxation and confidence it will never slip-off. In my personal setting, it's almost as if it wasn't there, yet the violin still is totally secure. The tonal possibilities are amazing! Such power and brilliance without any thinness of sound. I have many other good, totally usable shoulder rests, but must admit this is a superior device. Super easy to adjust, and even more so to store. Made by Pirastro in Germany-love it, as well your original Oliv strings! (Pirastro: please keep producing different numbered gauges for Eudoxa/Oliv/Passione! Many of us need or prefer the lighter or heavier gauges, often on specific strings, depending on string line, etc.) Great work! Hope it's very successful; I believe many others are already greatly enjoying the Luna. 👍🌛
Simply outstanding. On four different violins the rest made a BIG difference on three of them (in comparison to the older Padauk wood one I own, which already seemed to superior to all the many rests I have tried) on a discernible difference on the fourth. I had several pros independently come to the conclusion it sounded as if I was using a different (and better) bow.
Cheque is in the post! 😊

Ok time to buy Evah Pirazzi strings. Thanks for sharing this
Phenomenal violin playing and superb, muscular interpretation.. EP strings are indeed very powerful. Thanks for the lovely music!
wonderful
Interview Bobby Davis next! all your strings are fantastic except for the Evah Pirazzi A's, only the As they always unravel on some of the more demanding music, like Paganini and Ernst. Your gut strings are my favourite!
beautiful sounding strings indeed
Wonderful video, thanks:´´´)
another thing i like about the Evah Pirazzi strings, besides everything he mentioned, is that they stay in tune for days, even weeks at a time. back when i used gut, i was constantly having to re-tune.
Cool content, keep up the good work! I recommend promosm it will help you grow your channel.
