What a great time to be a cellist. So many choices!
Definitely an informative video, I am very curious about these strings. Please do find a cellist to play next time though!
Lmao
Thank you for the review. It's difficult to hear the differences on my little tablet speaker....
What a great video. I love that combining the sets can make a blended sound that enhances the instrument and can find the perfect match to the instrument. Well done.
Thanks for the contest entry 👍
Excited to try this new line of Larsens. Not sure how they will stack up against Magnacores though!
Thanks for the video! I've liked the Larsens strings I've had. Excited to try possibly try these out sometime!
Could you demo a full set of broad and warm strings?! Really helpful!
Big difference between the two types of C strings! That Warm & Broad C sounded amazing, even through my awful computer speakers.
Will definitely want to give them a try. Haven’t found the perfect Larsen A for my cello yet and think warm and broad could be the answer!
Great new release of the variety pack. Love the differences between the two types of the strings! I particularly like the Warm & Broad C sound.
Wow! enjoy hearing the difference between the Direct and Focused and Warm & Broad. Looking for something new...really would like to try these strings! THANKS
Thanks for the demo, can wait to try them on my cello
I love the sound of the combo...that you can mix/match depending on the instrument. I'm considering purchasing the starter pack!
Ashamed to say it's been at least 5 (maybe 7) years since I changed strings. They are a huge investment. If I don't win the giveaway, your video assured me that the Larsens are a solid choice.
Excellent video, very useful and helpful. Great sounding strings.
Like the warm and broad A string...have a very bright Strad pattern cello and this would be great. How do the A and D pair with lower strings from other brands?
What a cool concept to implement in a single string line ! I have always played with various weird mix of strings. That starter kit might be more affordable than buying lots of strings just to experiment. It's like a lab in itself.
It is becoming common to go with Larsen A & D and Helicore G & C strings to find the right balance. Is this starter pack essentially doing the same thing within one brand?
Good to see Larsen offering more string varieties. This was a very helpful video. I can’t wait to try them.
Very nice review. I tried out the Il Cannone strings (direct & focused) before seeing this video, and I loved them immediately. Still do. Wish they weren't so expensive, but that's life as a cellist, right?
The direct and focus set with Warm and Broad C was truly warm, I loved the depth of the C and how it continues to ring with sound.
I would love to try these strings
Thank you for the demo! Love the starter set!
Are there any plans for Larsen to make a set for viola? the warm and broad sound great!
Super clear and useful video!! Subscribed!!
Very interesting. Larsen has always been a good way to go, in my experience.
Great demo! I am always eager to learn more about choosing strings. Looking forward to trying these.
The past few years have given us quite a few new incredible string lines like perpetuals, versums and rondos, looking forward to trying these!
the various combinations/possibilities are somewhat daunting for an obsessive....
I have been using the Magnacore strings and am anxious to try the new Canonne strings
Looking forward to hearing more. The mix and match idea sounds great.
Wow! Loved hearing the differences of both the strings on the different cellos!
Looking forward to hearing more about these strings. Mix and match seems like an interesting idea.
Would be great to hear them compared with Larsen Soloist
Fantastic sound. Going to try these new strings! Thank you for giving the demo you could hear the difference in the sounds of Warm & Broad vs Direct & Focused.
these sound awesome! i've used larsen on and off for years and always loved them :)
I've typically used Larsen Soloist, but my cello favors a warmer sound so these sound perfect!
Loved hearing the differences! I’d love to be able to try these strings out
Oh how wish I could win the double starter pack of these new strings to try out !!! Hey, maybe I will get lucky. 😉
Very exciting news strings! Big sound! Would love to try them on my cello!
Very helpful video!
As a cello player I’ve always bought Larsen cello strings, always prefer warmer sounds. Have bought the magnacore years before. This would be great to have!!!!
Nice product intro and an innovative concept I cannot wait to try.
I am excited to try these out. I love the sound of the mellow A string.

The way he puts down the cello.
Definitely worth a try. I love the sound of the C warm and broad!
Great review. I'd love to hear the warm and broad G on the second cello.
Sounds good! I enjoyed listening to the variations in sound.
Wow, these sound great! Would love to try them out on my cello :) Already love the Larsen soloist strings!
Sounds like a great product!
Very interested. Use Larsen A,D and Bel Canto G,C right now.
Awesome sound. I like the starter pack.
I want to play them. I wish Jack had played them for us a tiny bit to hear the difference between the bright and the mellow.
Nice review, I would love to try a set of Cannone.
They definitely sound great and I'll need to try them soon!
Great strings. My cello came setup with them.
Larsen makes great strings!
Awesome! I'd love to win these strings!
Thank you for the review! I found it very helpful!
Awesome demonstration - thanks!
Great demo. These strings would benefit my bright Guadagnini model cello.
I would love to give these a try.
Sounds cool! I’m primarily a violinist/violist, but maybe I’ll check those out for my cello!
Oh! I think I'm too late to enter :( But a very interesting video all the same - I always have trouble with the sound of my A string and would love to try these!
Nice.

I like the warm and broad C string.
Thanks for sharing. Will give it a try!
Indeed very impressive
thanks for showing us
Love the options these varied strings create! I'm way overdue for a fresh set of strings; my A seems to be growing just too bright for the rest, so if I don't win the free sets, I'll be saving my pennies in hopes of trying them out.
It would have been interesting to ear the strings at the right tension, unfortunately the tuning is much lower than 440Hz, in my opinion the differences between the two types of strings could have been more noticeable in a TH-cam video (with a lot of compression). Thanks anyway for the comparison!
I would love to try out this set!
I would look into these when I buy my cello.
Loving the tone on these new strings!
Pléase i wish I win I love them. And the man at the end as well 😜
Interested to see how these new innovation strings pair with their previously established line up!
Just another way for Larsen to take our money 😂
Loved the video, very informative!
Sound was great. Good video!
Sounds like an interesting new string option..
My cello is very bright. I would love to try bo th types of strings on my instrument.
liked, commented and subscribed. not on facebook or the other so cant enter those...bummer.
Beautiful sound!
I want to try these even though the word "Cannone" is a little too close phonetically to "canon"...
Very interested in these strings!
I’m going to try them soon. But please send me a free set🌺🙏🏽
Would love to have these strings on my cello!
These sound amazing!
Thank you for this video!
You guys selected who the winner for the Il cannone strings?!? I don’t want to keep getting my hopes up 😭😅😅 I was really looking forward to that A string sound 🥲🥲
We have, unfortunately! Please give us a follow, we're planning on doing similar giveaways in the future (plus we always announce these contests first via email: www.sharmusic.com/shop.axd/EmailSignup). Sorry you didn't get a crack at this one.
Interesting
Sounds great!
I want to try them so bad!!!
Lovely strings. Hope I win!!!
They do sound pretty good!
Thanks for sharing!
Great sound!
Most excellent!
Great Review!
Thanks for making this video review! Just curious, how do these strings compare to Magnacore Ariosos? I currently have a full set of those on my Jay Haide Statue cello.
Hi, Susie, thanks for the question! It is a little hard to compare them, to be honest! The Il Cannone strings are medium tension compared to the lower tension (Especially on the G and C) of the Arioso strings. The feel is definitely different. The breadth of sound options you can get by mixing and matching the strings to your instrument from the Il Cannones is dramatic. If your cello requires lower tension strings, the Arioso may be your best bet, but I was astounded by the flexibility the Il Cannone strings had to adapt to the VERY different cellos we were testing. -Aaron
@@SharMusicTV Thanks for your response! I love trying different strings on my cello to see how it changes the sound. Before the Ariosos, I had Larsen Soloists on the upper two strings and Ariosos on the lower two. (I have tried Spirocore Tungsten on the lower two strings before the Ariosos.) My cello sounded good with the Soloists, but it sounds even better with the full set of Ariosos. It would be interesting to play around with the Il Cannone to see how it sounds on my cello.
