The new Larsen Strings Il Cannone Cello Strings are offered 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.

A world first in violin string design. Il Cannone Gold features both a gold-wound G and D string — crafted from the highest grade gold available — delivering a glowing, crisp, robust, and carrying sound. The most powerful strings in the Il Cannone family, built to make the entire instrument resonate as one.

The set pairs these landmark D and G strings with an A wound in precision rolled aluminium flat-wire and an exclusive carbon-steel E. All three core strings are built on Larsen's most advanced synthetic core materials yet, combining strength with sensitivity and exceptional durability. Tension matches the Il Cannone Soloist — higher and stronger than the Medium, ideal for players who demand power and projection.

Tested with excellent results on old Italian and French instruments as well as new violins, Il Cannone Gold suits any instrument capable of carrying a somewhat higher, stronger tension.

Do I need the full set? Larsen recommends fitting both the Gold G and D together, as they reach their full sound potential and playing characteristics when used in combination. The included A and E have been carefully selected to complement them — though you're welcome to experiment with your own E string choice where appropriate.

Do they need playing in? Il Cannone Gold delivers excellent tone and playability immediately upon installation. That said, musicians report that the Gold G and D develop even greater sound modulating character after a few days of use — with deeper expressiveness and a more focused sound emerging as the strings settle.

Il Cannone Silver brings a radiant, brilliant voice to the Il Cannone family. Designed for violinists who want silvery clarity, rich overtone resonance, and powerful projection, this five-string set includes two E string options — a bold Silver E and a focused Caprice E — so you can tailor your sound precisely.

The D and G strings are wound with 99.85% pure silver flat wire for exceptional brightness and tonal depth in the lower register. The A string shares the same innovative synthetic core and is wound with precision aluminum flat wire. Both E strings feature a removable ball end and are crafted from unique carbon steel for lasting stability and performance.

Melos viola rosin is a hand-crafted rosin made in Thessaloniki, Greece from natural pine resin and colophony. Produced in small batches, it offers a consistent feel, low dust, and a stable response suited to the viola’s tonal range.

Available in Light and Dark formulations, it allows players to adjust bow response based on climate, instrument setup, and playing style.

Light rosin provides a smoother, more fluid response, often preferred in warmer conditions.

Dark rosin offers stronger grip and a fuller tone, performing reliably in cooler or drier environments.

Melos rosins are made from Greek pine resin and formed entirely by hand, with slight variations reflecting the natural materials and process.
