£6.95

In stock (can be backordered)

The Larsen Il Cannone Violin E string is made of a unique carbon steel. It celebrates Paganini’s legacy with what we believe to be a truly revolutionary sound.

In the design and development process at Larsen, they always aim to produce the exceptional but it is only during the testing and trial process with hands-on musicians that they can truly know for certain. With the Cannone they seem to have succeeded! The feedback from musicians has confirmed that playability and feel on the fingerboard is excellent with a good resistance to the bow.

It is Noble and powerful. A biting tone with real punch. Highly colourful with many intricate harmonics. Clear. Open. Brilliant. A very fast and easy response especially in spicatto.

Designed to bring out the best in your violin, Il Cannone is available as Medium here or soloist (click here): 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.

A little history on the Il Cannone Violin:

The Violin: The ‘Il Cannone’ Guarnerius violin, 1743, was made by Giuseppe Guarneri ‘del Gesù’ of Cremona (1698-1744). The violin acquired its name from the former owner and virtuoso Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840). Il Cannone is known for its resonance and power and is so deeply associated with Paganini that the violin is often known as simply Il Cannone, ex-Paganini.

The Virtuoso: Niccolò Paganini’s exceptional virtuoso talent and his remarkable dexterity and flexibility accorded him an almost mythical and rather mystical reputation during his lifetime. Paganini possessed unusually long fingers and was capable of playing three octaves across four strings in one hand span. His talent was viewed as so extraordinary, verging on the unnatural, that he was seen as having associations with the supernatural. Something that he apparently did nothing to discourage given the publicity and notoriety that he was subsequently rewarded with.
