Larsen Il Cannone Silver Violin D-String - 4/4 Size - Medium Gauge

Paganini's dedication of his groundbreaking 24 Caprices, in 1820, was ". . . to the Artists". In this same spirit, Larsen created their latest violin string masterwork, new Il Cannone strings, in tribute to this greatest of all violinists, and to his magnificent violin, the Guarneri del Gesu that he called Il Cannone.

The Il Cannone Silver string 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 with higher tension.

Il Cannone Silver is designed to respond swiftly under the bow, whilst offering nuanced control across dynamics and color. It offers high bow resistance and a wide dynamic range with fast, articulate response while maintaining a flexible feel under the fingers. The distinct sonic character is defined by radiant clarity with luxurious overtones making Silver a perfect choice for performance in larger halls and those seeking a more vibrant presence.

At the heart of Il Cannone Silver lies a focus on clarity with an overtone-rich resonance, particularly in the upper register. The D and G strings are wound with high-grade, 99.85% pure silver flat wire, ensuring exceptional brightness and purity of sound, while enhancing the richness and colors in the lower range. These premium materials not only add a distinctive tonal shine but also contribute to lasting stability and performance durability. 

“I was immediately struck by the brilliance and clarity of the Il Cannone Silver strings. They offer incredible projection and a powerful, vibrant tone that fills even the largest halls with ease. The resonance across all four strings is beautifully balanced – rich and responsive, yet always refined. This set doesn’t just complement the instrument; it completes it. These strings have become an essential part of my sound.

“Il Cannone Silver are definitely Soloist material. This new set delivers what the name suggests: A silvery, clear tone.”

Larsen Strings
Made with love and passion.

Get Me 300 Cello Strings
When a friend asked "...I'd like you to hold of 300 cello strings for me!", Larsen promised to try, but quickly realized his folly - high-quality cello strings were simply not to be had. He felt obligated by his promise, however, and threw himself into independent production. "I was protected by my ignorance. Had I known what a monumental task was before me, I would have had second thoughts."

The String with the Special Sound
After 18 months of development, Larsen had a string that sounded right. Eminent Danish and German musicians tried the string and they all agreed: "It's a winner; we'll keep it." Rumors of the string with the special sound spread quickly. Before long there were orders from around the world, and the waiting lists grew, as did the company.

What drives us is our love of music. Our goal is to enhance the musical experience of the listener. And that's no small matter.
