Obligato Violin Strings

Pirastro Obligato Violin Strings are celebrated for their versatility and rich, warm sound. Designed with a synthetic multifilament core, these strings offer violinists the tonal depth and response of traditional gut strings without the maintenance and tuning instability typically associated with gut. The Obligato line is known for its brilliant sound and full volume, making it a popular choice among musicians seeking both power and nuanced tone.

With excellent playability and an expansive dynamic range, Obligato strings respond beautifully across all registers. The A string, available in both aluminum and chrome steel, offers flexibility in tone, with the aluminum providing warmth and the chrome adding a brighter edge. The silver-wound D and G strings bring depth and richness to the lower registers, delivering a powerful sound that enhances projection. Violinists also appreciate the stability of these strings, as they remain unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity, ensuring consistent tuning and performance in various conditions.

Pirastro Obligato strings are available in a range of sizes and tension options, with the ability to customize your E string selection to either goldsteel or steel. Whether you’re performing live, recording in a studio, or practicing, Obligato strings provide a balanced, resonant tone that is suited for a wide variety of musical styles and settings.
