* All strings are ball end, unless otherwise specified.
A universal string of great quality suitable all types of instrument and player standard Obligato strings sound warm and full, yet have a brilliant, rich overtone spectrum and focused tone. Excellent playability and response throughout the entire dynamic range

Pros: I am highly delighted with the strings , they have a warm and melodious tone, sound great on my violin.
Cons: No complaints. I had previously been disappointed after buying the set of Pirastro Tonica strings, but Obligato strings lived up to my expectation.
Other: Getting the loose strings was cheaper and a good deal, but I found extracting them from the plastic wrapping a little fiddly.

Pros: Were easy to order and delivered quickly. Good instructions and diagram for someone who is not confident in replacing with new strings. G D E give very good, smooth sound. Mellow but with a brightness. Very pleased with them.
Cons: Not quite so happy with the A string. Not as smooth and can occasionally sound rather scratchy. Maybe it needs more playing in. The other strings have settled more quickly.

Pros: Compared with my previous set ( Olive label ) they impress as quicker to respond, brighter and easier to play in high positions. They play in quickly and don't stretch as much making tuning easier.
Cons: The sound produced is not as rich as the gut cored strings but the difference is small.

Pros: nice sounding, more mellow than the strings that were on my (student) violin when I bought it. though being a beginner the difference is still quite subtle to me!
Cons: needed constant re-tuning in the first week, but i think that's standard for new strings?..

Pros: The sound is full and warm. I used to have gut strings that I really liked, and these are comparable. I think they make my not terribly expensive violin sound as good as it can.In fact now I'm thinking about upgrading my instrument as well.
Cons: Nothing not to like apart from the price. but then when I think how much my piano costs to tune it puts it into perspective. So long as they last a while I'm happy.
Other: I was recommended to buy these by a professional performer and I trust her judgement.
