Independent shopping perspective
Built as a complete 4/4 medium-gauge violin set, Pirastro Obligato combines a new synthetic-fiber core with an E string specified with a steel ball end. The set is voiced for warmth, richness and plentiful overtones, while retaining strong volume and a dynamic response. Uniformity from string to string and a pliable feel under the fingers make it a coherent set to live with, including through shifts in temperature and humidity.
