Obligato Viola C String

Excellent quality strings

Both of my violas sound and play well with Obligato strings. Currently my go to set is Obligato C, G, and D with a Warchal Amber metal A. On my 1999 Samuel Shen "widebody" viola, I use medium tension for all. On my K. Mroz, 1991 medium for C and G, forte for the D (and medium for the A). The only thing I don't like about Obligatos is the price.

Lovely

My favorite C string for viola. Breaks in within a few hours of playing. Enables a very personal, warm, focused sound. Projects beautifully, without sounding loud or harsh under the ear.

Good Old Faithful

Always reliable strings for my viola in all climates and conditions. Recording sessions, orchestra pit gigs, solo, chamber, etc. Strings are also easier to play on especially if you have a unwieldy instrument.
