Violin maker’s recommendation:

“The ‘Obligato’ violin string is a very beautiful, warm yet powerful sounding string for the intermediate and professional player. Great response, great tuning stability. I mostly recommend to use the whole set. In some rare special incidences the golden plated & golden coloured e-string is squeeky if that is the case use a ‘Pirastro Evah Pirazzi gold’ stainless steel e-string”

What the manufacturer says:

• Obligato strings have a core made from a modern synthetic multifilament fibre.
