Violin Larsen Il Cannone Silver Strings Set

Overview

The Il Cannone Silver set from Larsen Strings introduces a bold, shining voice to the Il Cannone family. Designed for violinists seeking silvery brilliance, increased overtone content, and superior projection, this set features five strings—including an extra E string (providing two distinct options: Silver E and Caprice E) to tailor your sound.

At its heart lies a focus on clarity and overtone-rich resonance. The D and G strings are wound with high-grade 99.85% pure silver flat wire for exceptional brightness, while the A string uses precision aluminium flat wire on a synthetic core. The result is a set that responds swiftly with high bow resistance and a wide dynamic range, perfect for musicians performing in larger halls.
