Larsen StringsIl Cannone Violin E String 4/4 Size Carbon Steel, Medium Gauge, Loop End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Il Cannone E is a medium-gauge, loop-end replacement for a 4/4 violin. Made from solid carbon steel, it is described as producing a clear, powerful voice with a quick response. Its easy response is highlighted in spiccato, and its resistance to the bow gives the player a defined handling characteristic rather than a vague all-purpose claim. Choose it when the E position needs this specific loop-end, medium-tension configuration.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a loop-end E string on a 4/4 violin with a medium-gauge carbon-steel option.
- Players working on spiccato who want the string’s specifically noted quick response.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups requiring a ball-end E string; this version has a loop end.
- Players seeking a tension other than medium; it is available in medium tension.
