* All strings are ball end, unless otherwise specified.
A universal string of great quality suitable all types of instrument and player standard Obligato strings sound warm and full, yet have a brilliant, rich overtone spectrum and focused tone. Excellent playability and response throughout the entire dynamic range

Great for warmth and responsiveness.
Pros: Warmth, responsiveness, resonance, colour.
Cons: Slightly less projection.
Other: Settling in time, particularly of the A-string, seemed unusually long. Around two weeks after putting the strings on it was still dropping in pitch significantly more than the others.

Very good for use at a high level
Pros: - settle very quickly - rich, sonorous tone - retains sound quality for a long time - good sensitivity to bow pressure etc - very stable in climate changes - great for both orchestral use and solo performances
Cons: There really aren't any cons, apart from with all Pirastro strings, I find the binding a little too thick as the D string hole of my tailpiece is slightly narrower (due to the age of the instrument). It's a bit of a pain as I'm always having to modify the ball and binding myself to fit, which sometimes takes a long time.
Other: On my previous German violin I didn't particularly like the Obligato strings as they didn't project very well so I always used Evah Pirazzi, but since using my current slightly smaller English violin - I found that Obligato are much better. It really depends on your violin and personal preference as to which is better, but both sets are great
