Il Cannone ® celebrates Paganini's legacy with what we believe is a truly revolutionary sound.

In the design and development process here at Larsen we always aim to produce the exceptional, but it is only during the trial and testing process with practical musicians that we can really know for sure. And it seems that we have achieved it. Player feedback has confirmed that the playability and feel on the fingerboard is excellent with good bow resistance.

Designed to bring out the best in your violin, Il Cannone individual strings and sets are available in two versions. The Medium variant has a more moderate tension with an open, colorful, projected, richer and more powerful sound, while the Soloist brings a fuller tone, with even more presence and focus.

Descriptions of the sound offered by our Il Cannone sets include: "Noble and powerful. A biting tone with real power. Very colorful with many intricate harmonics. Clear. Open. Bright. A very quick and easy response, especially on spicatto."
