Violin Pirastro Obligato E String (Medium, Steel, Loop End)

Pirastro Obligato Violin Strings (Medium Gauge, E Steel Variant)

Tonal Profile & Player Level: Obligato strings are described as warm and full, with a brilliant, rich overtone spectrum and a focused tone. They are beloved by chamber and orchestral musicians for their great tone volume and exceptional blend. The strings offer excellent playability and response across the entire dynamic range.

Stability: Like other strings in this family, Obligato strings are absolutely insensitive to variations in temperature and humidity.

Set Configuration: The standard Obligato set (Art.No. 411021) includes a goldsteel E‑string. This particular configuration is the E‑Steel variant (Art.No. 411521 or 411525), which replaces the goldsteel E with a regular steel E‑string for a slightly different tonal balance.

Core & Winding Materials:

• E‑String: Steel (E‑Steel variant)
• A‑String: Aluminium‑wound over a synthetic core
• D‑String: Silver‑wound over a synthetic core
• G‑String: Silver‑wound over a synthetic core
