Larsen’s Il Cannone for Cello is a breakthrough in string design, offering a bold, modern voice for today’s discerning cellists. Inspired by the legendary power and complexity of Paganini’s own instrument, this string family delivers unparalleled flexibility, tonal range, and projection, empowering cellists to fully express their musical identity across any performance setting.
The Il Cannone cello line features two distinct tonal profiles:
All eight strings in the series are mutually compatible and interchangeable, allowing players to mix and match between tonal styles for a truly customized sound profile. Whether you prefer the singing brilliance of the upper register or the dark power of the lower strings, Il Cannone gives you a “toolbox” of tonal options.
Each string is engineered with moderate tension to ensure balance and playability across a wide range of instruments. Premium materials—including solid or multi-stranded steel cores and tungsten or stainless-steel windings—deliver outstanding stability, longevity, and responsiveness under the bow.
Trusted by top soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral players, Il Cannone strings offer a consistent and customizable solution for players who demand both power and nuance. Say goodbye to trial-and-error setups—with Il Cannone, you control the sound.
