Description
Experience professional-grade acoustic performance with the Pirastro Obligato Viola String Set, meticulously engineered in Germany for instruments with a back length of up to 16.5 inches. These strings utilize a modern synthetic multifilament fiber core that successfully bridges the gap between traditional gut warmth and modern synthetic reliability.

The set is exceptionally resistant to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, ensuring reliable tuning stability for practice sessions and performances alike.
Designed for discerning violists seeking deep resonance and longevity, this medium-gauge set includes an aluminum-wound steel core A string, silver-wound synthetic core D and G strings, and a tungsten-silver-wound synthetic core C string.
How to use
- Carefully remove old strings one at a time to maintain bridge and soundpost alignment.
- Install each new string into the corresponding tailpiece slot and tuning peg, winding neatly to prevent overlap.
- Tune the instrument gradually to pitch, allowing time for the strings to stretch and settle.
