"Personally, I made the transition to these strings from Obligatos and feel that the extra $20 are much worth it especially if you're looking to achieve a warmer sound. What I will say though is that the strings take a very long time to break in (more than any other string I have ever bought), the first couple of days you will find yourself endlessly re-tuning."
"I was quickly and courteously contacted by the company, Evergreen Violin, and assured that customer satisfaction was paramount to them."
"our go-to strings, although regular Pirazzi strings are just as nice."
