Violin Pirastro Obligato Strings Set (1/2-3/4 Size)
Pirastro String Set · 1/2 – 3/4
Obligato,
warm and full — sized for smaller violins.
A complete E, A, D, G set for 1/2 and 3/4 size violins. Warm and full with a brilliant, rich overtone spectrum and a focused tone. E-Steel variant.
What's in the set
A complete four-string set.
One full set sized for 1/2 – 3/4 violin: a regular steel E, plus aluminium-, silver-, and silver-wound synthetic A, D, and G strings.
Tonal character
Warm, focused, and stable.
Obligato strings are warm and full, with a brilliant, rich overtone spectrum and a focused tone. Chamber and orchestral musicians value them for tone volume and exceptional blend across the dynamic range.
Obligato strings are absolutely insensitive to variations in temperature and humidity.
Set configuration
The E-Steel variant.
This configuration replaces the standard goldsteel E with a regular steel E-string to offer a slightly different tonal balance.
String by string
How each voice contributes.
E String — adds brilliance, power, and direct soloistic projection to the otherwise warm set.
A String — exceptionally warm, rich, gut-like sound. Blends with D and G.
D String — warm and powerful, complex and rich with immediate response.
G String — deep, warm, voluminous foundation without sacrificing clarity.
