New strings!

I went to the music store today hoping to grab some infeld blue strings for my violin. They had looked nice on the website, but unfortunately they don't have any in WA it looks like. Instead I got a set of the Pirastro Obligato with the steel e string. I might switch over to a gold e when i replace these.

I'm very happy with these at the moment. Their sound is much more full than with the Tonicas i was using, and there is so much more resonance.

got an e-mail today about the Gyeongnam International Music Competition. Unfortunately I'm not up to the level required to participate in this competition, but I do want to wish all competitors good luck in it.
