The Il Cannone Silver set from Larsen Strings introduces a bold, shining voice to the Il Cannone family, designed for violinists seeking silvery brilliance, increased overtone content and superior projection. This set features five strings, including two distinct E strings to tailor the sound: the bold and powerful Silver E, perfect for assertive tonal presence, and the sparkling, focused and brilliant Caprice E, ideal for instruments that benefit from added brilliance.

At the heart of Il Cannone Silver lies a focus on clarity and 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 colours in the lower range. These premium materials not only add a distinctive tonal shine but also contributes to lasting stability and performance durability. The A string is built upon the same innovative synthetic core as the D and G strings and is wound with precision aluminium flat wire. The Silver E and Caprice E strings both feature a removeable ball end and are made using a unique carbon steel.

The Il Cannone Silver is designed to respond swiftly under the bow, while offering nuanced control across dynamics and colour. It offers high bow resistance and a wide dynamic range with fast, articulate response while maintaining a flexible feel under the fingers. Its distinct sonic character is defined by radiant clarity and overtone-rich resonance - particularly in the upper register - making it a perfect choice for musicians performing in larger halls or seeking a more vibrant presence.

With responsive playability and a vibrant tonal palette, Il Cannone Silver is a shining and powerful extension of the Il Cannone family - engineered to enhance modern performance with elegance and precision.
