Larsen IL CANNONE Cello String Set "Warm and Broad"

The new LARSEN strings IL CANNONE cello range has been hailed as a step change in cello string development. Available in two variants, "Direct & Focused" and "Warm & Broad", all eight strings are mutually compatible and fully interchangeable. IL CANNONE for cello gives you a toolbox of options to choose from to optimise your individual sound. Built upon the powerful foundations of a rich and expressive core sound, IL CANNONE for cello offers you a rich palette of set up combinations. A ready-made toolbox of string options avoiding the expense and frustration of unreliable trial and error. The cellist can modify and control the tone of his/her instrument in a way that is easy to predict. The core sound can be blended with any LARSEN IL CANNONE string combination(s) because all of the options are of a similar moderate tension and engineered to complement one another.

Both C and G strings have steel rope cores and tungsten windings, while both Ds and the "Warm and Broad" A have solid steel cores and stainless steel windings. The "Direct and Focused" A string uses a unique material that is currently being patented.

The IL CANNONE "Direct & Focused" A string combines qualities of several of LARSEN'S popular A strings: the singing quality of the Arioso A, the edge of the Magnacore A and the sound body of the Soloist A. The testing cellists reported very easy playability and sound response plus considerable durability.
