Larsen Il Cannone · Cello Set · Warm & Broad
Il Cannone Warm & Broad,
a hall full of resonance.
The complete A, D, G and C set in Il Cannone's Warm & Broad voicing. Rich, resonant, and full-bodied. Voiced for cellists who want Il Cannone's projection paired with breadth, bloom, and a Romantic-friendly tonal palette.
Set value
Save $20, plus the matched response of a complete pack
Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
All four strings are voiced together by Larsen for the same warm, broad character. You get matched response from C through A without mixing voicings or brands.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $20 versus the four individual strings, and removes the inventory friction of ordering one string at a time.
Built for performance
Il Cannone is voiced for the concert hall. Once the set settles in (24 to 72 hours), it is ready for solo, chamber, and orchestral playing at a demanding level.
About Il Cannone
Named after Paganini's cannon.
Larsen Il Cannone takes its name from Paganini's legendary Guarneri "del Gesù" violin, nicknamed Il Cannone ("the cannon") for its extraordinary projection. The Larsen range carries that ambition into modern cello strings: a captivating blend of warmth, clarity, and power, built for cellists who need to project with authority in solo and chamber settings.
The Warm & Broad voicing is the more resonant of the two Il Cannone options. It opens the tone up across the registers, giving lyrical passages bloom and concert-hall presence while still keeping the clarity that defines the Il Cannone range.
Sound character
Resonant, lyrical, hall-filling.
The Warm & Broad voicing favours bloom and breadth. The upper strings sing with warmth; the lower strings carry the kind of resonance that fills a concert hall without needing extra bow weight. Romantic and lyrical repertoire benefit most, but the voicing handles modern repertoire and chamber playing equally well.
Tuning stability is consistent across long rehearsals and concert sessions, with minimal pitch drift even under temperature and humidity change. The set rewards expressive bowing and a generous sound concept.

Want a more focused, projecting voice instead?

Just need one string?
Replace a single A, D, G or C without buying the whole set. Same Il Cannone construction, both voicings available.
Frequently asked
Il Cannone Warm & Broad cello set, in short.
What is included in the Warm & Broad cello set?
The set includes all four strings for a 4/4 cello: A, D, G, and C, one of each, in the Warm & Broad voicing. The A and D have alloy windings on steel cores; the G and C have tungsten windings on steel cores.
How is Warm & Broad different from Direct & Focused?
Both share the Il Cannone design philosophy of warmth, clarity, and power. Warm & Broad opens the tone up with more resonance and bloom across the registers. Direct & Focused concentrates the tone into a tighter, more projecting beam. Many cellists choose between them based on what their instrument already gives them.
Why is the set cheaper than buying the four singles?
The set is $760 versus $780 for the four singles totalled together, so you save $20 plus the convenience of a single order. The bigger reason most cellists buy as a set is tonal balance: all four strings are voiced together, so the response is matched from C through A.
How long do Il Cannone strings last?
Lifespan depends on playing hours, perspiration, and climate. A daily-playing professional or advanced student should expect several months of consistent tone from a set. Replace when the sound becomes dull, unfocused, or false in the upper positions.
How long do new Il Cannone strings take to settle in?
Allow 24 to 72 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle. Retune gently in small increments and wipe rosin residue off after each session.
Are Larsen Il Cannone strings authentic?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Larsen Il Cannone through the official Larsen Strings supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, we arrange a replacement in line with the manufacturer's warranty.
Need help choosing?
We can match the voicing to the instrument.
