I recently discovered Pirastro Obligato Strings and, after 30 years of using another brand, switched both of my basses to the Pirastro strings.

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment your company on making a string, which fills a need in a specific area that no string before has done.
I find the balance between tonal color, string tension, arco and pizzicato efficacy and power is impressive in this string. They feel good on my intruments and the instruments seem to like them as well. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Mark Helias
