Pros: Seems to be more colourful and flexible than a Larson, though perhaps not quite so powerful. I don't need more than this, however, and I keep it until it breaks. which is very rare.
Cons: Has occasionally broken on the bridge when hit too hard, but I take the blame for that.
Other: I have played on Eudoxa A's for many years, only changing in order to deal with very high altitude repertoire in concerts, eg the Paganini Grand Sonata. I find the Obligato a very acceptable compromise between covered gut and synthetic or metal.

Replacement Obligato A string
Pros: I've used Obligato strings on two of my violas for several years (now I am retired) and enjoy their full yet mellow tone and clean response. This purchase was to replace an A string that snapped during tuning!
Cons: None really - people do complain about the price but I think for their quality they are not unduly expensive ('get what you pay for' if you like.)
Other: String Zone price very competitive and customer service/care brilliant!

A lovely warm silky smooth A.
Pros: A lovely warm silky smooth sound that fits in perfectly with Obligato C, G and D strings which I've used on my viola for several years. I have always had a Larsen A wih a variety of makes and been very satified wih the combination - but I find the Oblgato A easier to play {fingers and bow).
Cons: Nothing
Other: Not a great difference in sound/tone between Oblgato A and Larsen A.

Lovely creamy sound!
Pros: Beautiful creamy tone. Reasonably priced. Settled in straight away, no slipping out of tune.
Cons: Nothing! Perfect for my viola.
Other: I upgraded my A and D strings to Pirastro Obligato and kept my Dominant C and G strings. They blend in well, but I am tempted to upgrade them all eventually!
