Selected User Reviews For Pirastro Obligato 3/4 Upright Double Bass String Set - Medium Gauge

A great set of strings

5/5

To bow, I would put in a D'Addario Helicore Orchestra and to play jazz I'd switch to Thomastic Spirocore A friend recommended Obligatos to me after I decided to try a hybrid. It's really cool to hear these strings. Their bowing and piz capabilities are more appealing to me.
