A very good set of violin strings.

Pros: Warm and powerful tone, and very responsive to off-the-string bowing too.

Cons: Nothing to dislike, apart from the fact that they are quite expensive. There are cheaper equivalents, but these definitely have the edge.

Other: Worth checking out if you haven't tried them before.

Great strings, smooth feel, look decent.

Pros: Great feel, smooth, great sound. Makes my cheap violin sound just that more expensive :) Great for fast or slow songs and good sound when up in 3rd or 4th position

Cons: the E does whistle a few times

Other: Chanaged from dominants to these and very happy.. at first i didn't notice much difference, but after about 1 hour of constent playing and retuning (as the strings started to settle by 1 hour) the sound improved

quality strings

Pros: A good, yet mellow sound and currently playing in well.

Cons: Only the E string came in a packet with the Pirastro Obligato name on it. The other 3 strings came wrapped together in a small plastic bag. This seemed rather odd to me.
