Fine Strings.

Pros: Consistently good quaility and sound.

Cons: N/A

Other: Concerned that the fall in the value of sterling and the move to Brexit might make these strings more expensive or even unavailable in the future.

Richer tone for a modern violin.

Pros: My violin is abou 16 years old, and the tone has taken quite a long time to develop. Being a modern instrument the tone is strong but less sweet than older instruments. I chose the Obligato string for a second time because it added richness to the strong tone. I had previously tried Eva Pirrazi strings, and decided they were more suited to a sweet old violin that needed help with volume.

Cons: I had to open up the adjuster fork because I bought a ball end, and probably should have opted for a looped end.

Other: I play my violin for my own pleasure, and am really enjoying playing as the tone mellows and the right string enhances it.
