Larsen Il Cannone Violin Strings, COMPETITION Set (Direct & Focused/Med/Extra E), 4/4

Larsen’s new Il Cannone Direct and Focused strings for violin offer a silvery and lustrous sound with pristine clarity and great projection. At the heart of the string lies an entirely new synthetic core that adds warmth and colourful overtones.

These strings are an excellent option for leading professionals, soloists, aspiring students, and amateur players. To compare the sound of these strings to the rest of the Larsen range, please see the Larsen string matrix diagram.

The new Direct & Focused sets have already travelled the world. Tested with musicians extensively in Europe, North America and Asia on both new instruments and old Italian instruments including Strads and del Gesù. Violinists describe the strings as having empowered the whole instrument with more colour possibilities, more clarity, more edge and greater gain.

String Details
The Il Cannone E string is made using a unique carbon steel, whilst the A, D and G strings build on a new, synthetic core with a new winding process. The A string is wound with precision rolled aluminium flat wire and the D and G strings are wound with pure silver. Available as sets or as individual strings. Soloist Direct & Focused variants are marked with a red band.
0.28 E Option
The power and brilliance of our new 0.28 gauge E string has proven to be a superb match for the Direct & Focused strings on many violins.
