Description
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. By design, 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, the Larsen Il Cannone Cello String set offers you a rich palette of set up combinations.
Larsen Il Cannone Cello String set – Direct & Focused or Warm & Broad?
The core sound can be blended with any Il Cannone string combination(s) because all of the options are of a similar moderate tension and engineered to complement one another. For example, combine the Warm & Broad C with the Direct & Focused G and you will notice that C becomes more focused and the G becomes warmer.

Easily the best cello strings I’ve tried. A clear C string that’s still warm and not too harsh, and a beautiful honey smooth A string that doesn’t sound brash and thin. They didn’t need much playing in and have lasted very well. (Reviewed set: Il Cannone Warm and Broad)
