The new Il Cannone Gold strings are the most powerful in the Il Cannone family, although they have the same tension as the Il Cannone Soloist strings. They intensify the main sound of the instrument with an unrivalled strength and liveliness that makes the whole instrument resonate. The sound is bright and snappy, robust and powerful. The world's first gold D string, in combination with the gold G string, guarantees incomparable longevity. The combination of the E string in carbon steel and the A string in precision-wound flat aluminium wire (both ungilded) results in a set for the Il Cannone violin that is simply exceptional.
