The New Il Cannone Gold for Violin: created with high-grade gold for the soloist looking for unique power and durability.

A world first from Larsen Strings...

"Introducing the world's first gold D created in partnership with our Gold G made with the highest-grade gold ever used in string design. An exceptionally powerful and unique formulation designed to last, combining strength with sensitivity. The new and unique Gold D and G have probably the longest lifetime ever offered in violin strings. Maintained conscientiously, with attention to cleaning after each performance, you can rely upon Il Cannone Gold to keep delivering."

Reviews of the Il Cannone Gold sound include: "incredibly powerful, a palette of sensuous sound colours, fast string, crisp, durable, long-lasting, unique."

For the new Il Cannone Gold, Larsen has combined the premium quality gold D & G with their exclusive carbon-steel E and an A wound with precision rolled aluminum flat-wire.

These are the most powerful strings in the Il Cannone Family, even though they have identical string tension to Il Cannone Soloist strings. The new Il Cannone Gold offer a unique strength for violin strings, enhancing the core sound of the instrument. They offer a vibrancy that makes the entire instrument resonate as if the strings are in perfect sync with the violin. The sound of these strings is truly glowing and crisp, robust and carrying. 

Note: If your violin is known to be sensitive to higher string tension, these strings are not recommended as supplied as a full set. Please refer to Larsen's website for alternate pairings.
