Larsen Il Cannone Violin String Set (Direct and Focused) 4/4

Expanding the Il Cannone Universe

For our new Il Cannone Violin Direct & Focused in Medium & Soloist editions our aim was to develop a silvery and lustrous clarity of sound to enrich your style & instrument. Aimed at leading professionals and soloists as well as inspiring aspiring student and amateur violinists, we have developed an entirely new synthetic core at the heart of this new sound. Combining a new winding process we have further enriched the colours of this unique new formulation.

The new Direct & Focused sets have already travelled the world. Tested with musicians extensively in Europe, North America and Asia on both new instruments and old Italian instruments including Strads and del Ges. Violinists describe the strings as having empowered the whole instrument with more colour possibilities, more clarity, more edge and greater gain.

String Details

The Il Cannone E string is made using a unique carbon steel, whilst the A, D and G strings build on a new, synthetic core with a new winding process. The A string is wound with precision rolled aluminium flat wire and the D and G strings are wound with pure silver. Available as sets or as individual strings. Soloist Direct & Focused variants are marked with a red band.

0.28 E Option

The power and brilliance of our new 0.28 gauge E string has proven to be a superb match for the Direct & Focused strings on many violins. Why not experiment with your sound?
