Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off My viola loves Pirastro Obligato
Pros: They suit my viola - I find that they settle quickly after I've put them on and they stay in tune well. Good quality across the set so don't feel I have to get different makes for different strings.
Cons: I was confused about what tension to get. Tried strong but felt they gave my viola a slight 'metallic' sound at first. It settled into the tone I wanted after a few weeks but have gone back to medium tension as I feel they give me what I need straight away.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-on Good value
Pros: They are great - make a super sound, clear, loud, come in a range of lengths that are useful if you play large violas and are long lasting.
Cons: There's nothing about these strings I don't like.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off A quality product, but not the most economical.
Pros: Attractive tone. Have been fairly easy to keep in tune, and after a couple of weeks tuning is already fairly stable.
Cons: Quite expensive
Other: Recommended by my teacher. Unfair to compare with previous strings which were already in a poor state when I bought the viola recently.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-on First class service
Pros: Watch this space
Cons: None
Other: I have been recommended these strings by a fellow string player. I understand that synthetic materials are less prone to breakage than gut core strings. I have bought them for use 'when the need arises', as I hate to be caught out with less than the requisite four! Therefore, I am unable to give a considered opinion at present. Even so, I am always impressed by the prompt and efficient service of The String Zone.
