The new Il Canonne Gold violin strings are making heads turn for several reasons. First, let’s be honest, they are the most expensive strings in the world! But, players all over, are raving about these strings. The first major difference is that it is the first time ever with both matching D and G strings, wrapped in 10k gold. We first saw a gold G string with Pirastro’s ever popular Gold G in the Gold Evah Pirazzi (ryan, please link to pirastro’s Evah Pirazzi Gold set page). These have the super projection of Il Canonne Soloists, but the warmth and power of what the gold wrapping brings to the lush core sound. This is technology and hard work combined for greatness! Not cheap, but our customers (and other dealers) are noticing that they last “3-5 times longer”.
Just a note: these are about the typical average price for a good set of cello strings, so you are not
alone!
