Aargh. My Evah's have gone false already. I wonder if it's because I had them on for a week in March, took them off, and then put them back on 2 weeks ago, and they were stretched, then put away, and stretched again. I cannot get a good fifth between the A and E on the first finger position, and the B natural sounds strange. So today, I went to the violin store and bought Dominants (at violin shop price) because I could not wait for mail-order. I put the Dominant A string and it sounds true. Although there is that metallic sound of a new string. I suppose the D, G and E are still okay, but the sound is somewhat off-balanced. But at least my intonation has improved and I'm hitting that B natural on the A string every time. Tomorrow's my lesson so hopefully things will have settled down.
