Grade 8+

Glad I tried obligato strings

Pros: Have used pirastro eudoxa strings for years but was having a lot of problems with tuning. A combination of new pegs and new strings and my tuning problems are resolved. So happy to be able to focus on the music without worrying about strings slipping out of tune

Cons: None

Excellent strings.

Pros: These greatly the tone of my inexpensive violin, giving me much fuller sound. I also was very grateful of the advice given to me by Max, and for taking the time to discuss my questions. So thank you for that.

Cons: None

Sweet, but very short lived

Pros: Usually use Dominant A, D and G, but disappointed with sound from D string. So thought I'd try out Obligato strings. Beautiful warm sound from A and D strings...

Cons: ...and then they both unwound after not particularly heavy use (no more than five hours a week), after a couple of months playing. That can't be right, surely? An expensive lesson learnt!

Strings that make you like your violin

Pros: They give a really nice tone which gets even better after about two weeks. They hold the pitch incredibly well.. I get about three months out of a set (playing every day)

Cons: I used to get squeaking from the gold E string. The standard E string isn't a problem
