Larsen Il Cannone Violin string set (Direct & Focused)

£63.99

The Larsen Il Cannone Soloist Violin string set has a higher tension than the standard Cannone Violin set, giving it a fuller, more penetrating sound ideally suited to the soloist.

In the design and development process at Larsen, they always aim to produce the exceptional but it is only during the testing and trial process with hands-on musicians that they can truly know for certain. With the Cannone they seem to have succeeded! The feedback from musicians has confirmed that playability and feel on the fingerboard is excellent with a good resistance to the bow.

It is Noble and powerful. A biting tone with real punch. Highly colourful with many intricate harmonics. Clear. Open. Brilliant. A very fast and easy response especially in spicatto.

The Il Cannone E string is made using a unique carbon steel, while the A, D and G strings build on a new, synthetic multi-filament core. The A string is wound with precision rolled aluminium flat wire and available in either Direct & focused or Warm & Broad, and the D and G strings are wound with pure silver

Designed to bring out the best in your violin, Il Cannone is available as Medium (click here) or as the higher tension soloist: The Medium variant has a more moderate tension with an open, colourful, projecting, richer and powerful sound whilst the Soloist brings a fuller tone, with even more presence and focus.

Larsen Il Cannone Soloist Violin string set:

  • Synthetic Core G, D and A
  • Choice of A string
  • Carbon E string
  • Tailpiece end yellow with blue spiral

A little history on the Il Cannone Violin:

The Violin: The ‘Il Cannone’ Guarnerius violin, 1743, was made by Giuseppe Guarneri ‘del Gesù’ of Cremona (1698-1744). The violin acquired its name from the former owner and virtuoso Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840). Il Cannone is known for its resonance and power and is so deeply associated with Paganini that the violin is often known as simply Il Cannone, ex-Paganini.
The Virtuoso: Niccolò Paganini’s exceptional virtuoso talent and his remarkable dexterity and flexibility accorded him an almost mythical and rather
mystical reputation during his lifetime. Paganini possessed unusually long fingers and was capable of playing three octaves across four strings in one hand span. His talent was viewed as so extraordinary, verging on the unnatural, that he was seen as having associations with the supernatural. Something that he apparently did nothing to discourage given the publicity and notoriety that he was subsequently rewarded with
