Il Cannone Violin Comparison

We offer the Il Cannone strings in two varieties, medium and a soloist. By comparison, the Medium has a moderate tension, it is more noble and round, and often opens up the instrument sound.

The Soloist version has a higher tension, and brings a fuller tone, with even more power, presence and focus with more resistance to the bow. Your choice of version depends upon your instrument and style of play.

Our most versatile option. From a playability perspective, the Direct & Focused sets offer some more resistance to bow and fingers.

Our strongest E string, the 0.28 is wonderfully powerful and enhances the whole instrument’s sound, making it more dense and increasing focus.

Our Il Cannone Silver set introduces a bold, shining voice to the Il Cannone family. Designed for violinists seeking a silvery brilliance with an increased overtone resonance and superior projection.

This set features five strings, including two distinct E strings to match your sound: a bold & powerful Silver E and a sparkling & focused Caprice E.

Silver E string. Soloist tension. Powerful, bold and silvery.

These are the most powerful strings in the family with high durability built in by design. 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.
