*************
Niccolò Paganini owned many instruments.
But he loved his Guarneri violin Il Cannone the most. Its large, warm tone lent his fascinating playing style the sound for which he became so famous.
With the Il Cannone string series, Larsen Strings pays tribute to one of the greatest violin virtuosos of all time. The revolutionary sound is not only the result of an extensive design and development process, but above all due to the close cooperation with musicians who have contributed to this result with their feedback.
To get the best out of every instrument, Il Cannone violin and cello strings are available in different versions:
For violins:
- Medium strings offer a more moderate tension and an open, colourful, rich and powerful sound, while the Soloist variant provides even more presence and focus with a fuller tone (both variants are available as a set or single strings).
- Individual strings of the Direct & Focused and Warm & Broad variants are fully compatible with each other and deliver exactly what their names promise - in different combinations they elicit the individual optimum from each instrument.
- The premium Gold strings are the epitome of high-quality violin strings and uniquely durable luxury. They are the most sustaining and luminous strings in the series and offer an exceptional volume of power and intensity while enhancing the core sound of the instruments (available as a set or single strings).
For cellos:
- Cellos also benefit from the fact that single strings of the Direct & Focused and Warm & Broad variants are fully compatible with each other - individual combinations that ideally complement each other in the interplay of focus and warmth.
Niccolò Paganini was legendary because he combined traditional techniques in an innovative way in his playing technique and multiplied them with new ideas to achieve unrivaled mastery. With the innovative Il Cannone string series from Larsen Strings, you can follow in his footsteps.
