Maintain lovely warm tone for good length of time

Pros: I like the warm sound of Obilgato strings; they suit my violin. I find they take a few days to settle to pitch but once there they behave very well. They maintain their warm tone for a good length of time before they become duller and need to be replaced. The steel E has been fine and does not whistle.

Cons: Nothing

Other: Excellent service and quick delivery time. It's nice being able to place orders over the phone.

*****5 stars!!!*****

Pros: G, D and A are warm, so are good for orchestral playing. E is bright. Not a lot of stretching was required when I first fitted the strings, and they settled quickly.

Cons: Found it hard to fit the ball end of the G string into the tailpiece.
