Obligato has demonstrated quick break in time, exceptional projection, and unusual durability. For many bassists, Pirastro's Obligato bass strings are the 'hybrid' bass string of choice. These popular bass strings have a solid synthetic core with a very thin chromesteel wrap. They are designed to emulate gut strings and they hit the mark. They have a very smooth surface making them easy on the fingers while still being a dream to bow. Those wanting a traditional bluegrass, old school jazz and blues, or other styles that calls for that sound will enjoy the Obligatos. All Obligato Bass Strings feature a high temperature resistant solid synthetic core wrapped with high-quality chromesteel. These strings are made by hand using modern manufacturing techniques and strict quality control. This is a Pirastro Obligato 3/4 Upright Double Bass Medium Gauge String Set. All strings are Chromesteel Wound Solid Synthetic Core.

Great strings for bowing, not too bright or growly.

I use to put D'Addario Helicore Orch on for bowing and change to Thomastic Spirocore for Jazz gigs - decided to try a hybrid and a friend recommended Obligatos. These strings are amazing. I like them better for bowing and piz than the other two.

I love the Obligatos! Warm round sound even on an old plywood bass. They're well worth the dollars for the quality.
