Violin Pirastro Obligato Strings Set (1/8-1/4 Size)
Pirastro String Set · 1/8 – 1/4
Obligato,
warm and full — sized for the smallest violins.
A complete E, A, D, G set for 1/8 and 1/4 size violins. Warm, full, and stable — a quality string for young learners. E-Steel variant.
What's in the set
A complete four-string set.
One full set sized for 1/8 – 1/4 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. They offer excellent playability and response across the entire 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.
