I love these Strings!
These Obligato Violin Strings, with the Gold E String, are everything promised...warm and complex tone, easy to play, and settle in quickly. I tried many different Strings, trying to find that one, that really suits my Italian Violin...these are the ones! I love how they make my Violin sound!
Fantastic strings!!
My violin finally sounds how I envisioned it to sound with these strings!! I have tried everything from Vision Solo's to tonicas to violino to dominant and none of them really worked for my violin. After 9 different sets of strings over the last 3 years, I have finally found what I like! These strings are warm, full, clear, and ringing! Violino strings are a good cheaper alternative to these but they didn't have the same level of clarity Obligato stings have on my violin. Highly recommend trying these strings!
goods about this string
i like this string because it creates a dark sound i use this string on my snow violin
Not worth it!
These strings are terrible. I have used Infeld Red strings for years and thought I would try something new. The E string is shrill. The best way I can describe the A string is that it is "crunchy" and feels like I'm bowing sandpaper. The D and G are nasal and fuzzy. All four strings have a different volume (not balanced). After 5 days, I couldn't take it any longer and changed my old strings back. These are expensive strings with a cheap performance. Opened strings are unreturnable. I won't take that risk again!
