Pirastro 1BVAC Obligato Chrome Steel Violin A String, 4/4, Medium, Ball-End

Pirastro Obligato Chrome Steel Violin A String

The Pirastro Obligato Chrome Steel Violin A String combines a synthetic core with chrome steel winding for full-size 4/4 violins. This medium-tension, ball-end string provides an individual A-position replacement. Its winding resists hand perspiration, making it a practical choice for players seeking that material within the Obligato range.

Choose this synthetic-core violin replacement string when refreshing your instrument's A position or preparing a spare for rehearsals. The chrome winding suits players who want a brighter tonal character and resistance to perspiration during regular use. A medium-tension A string lets you replace one position while retaining the other strings already on your violin.

Pirastro specifies this version with a multifilament core, meaning multiple synthetic fibers form its center beneath the metal winding. Its ball anchor fits compatible tailpiece hardware. Gray silk at the peg end and rust red/black identification at the tailpiece help distinguish this construction. Confirm your violin's size and attachment requirements before installation.
