Kevin Henderson
Fiddle
‘I absolutely love the Larsen Il Cannone Strings! They are simply the best strings I have had on my instrument and the tone, response and playability is second to none for me. It’s great to be part of the Larsen community!’
Il Cannone® for Violin
Designed to bring out the best in your violin, Il Cannone individual strings and sets are available as two versions. The Medium variant has a more moderate tension with an open, colourful, projecting, richer and powerful sound whilst the Soloist brings a fuller tone, with even more presence and focus.
