see above

Pros: I've only put the D string on yet as the others, also Obligato, are still all right. It settled in well and behaves itself now, only taking 3 or 4 days to stay in tune. The tone is as sweet and mellow as ever on my 1900's German violin.

Cons: Nothing, it's great.

Pirastro Obligato strings are my favourites.

Pros: These strings settle quickly and I love their sound. Although pricey, they are the best I have found.

Cons: The set only offers an aluminium A string. I prefer the sound and feel of the crome-steel A (bought separately) and it would be good if this was an option for the set.

Other: Reliable service from the Stringzone. Strings arrived in good time, and well-packed, with short advice sheet on fitting and how to check for defects.
