Added warmth instantly!
I have a new $2k Chinese violin. It had Dominants and I wasn't too happy with them. I read that Obligatos had a wonderful warming effect on newer violins. Wow! As soon as I put them on I loved the sound! It has been 3 weeks and they sound better every day! They are easy to play on. The tension is low and the response is quick! Great job Pirastro!
Good sounding strings
This is the first time I've ever had expensive strings on my violin but they were well worth it. I play everyday and these strings have held up well for several months and rarely need to be tuned.
The Warm counter part to Evah Pirazzi
These take around 3 days to settle, they are ehh within that break-in period but after they are very pliable, robust, and of course warm! I tested these obligato's for a year on one of my violin's and they have lost some brilliance but still have plenty of life in them and can take abuse(haha countless practice hours and concerts).
