A Historic Reference Turned Sound Signature
Born in the 1930s and associated with the aesthetic of Django REINHARDT, the Argentine strings have built a reputation for reliability and character. The 1280 model transfers this spirit to the violin, with a design focused on power, precision, and a bright sonic identity, while maintaining the consistency that made the range famous.
For Which Violinist and Styles?
These strings are aimed at violinists from advanced beginner to intermediate levels seeking a clear attack and good presence in the mix. They are particularly suitable for repertoires requiring projection and articulation (jazz, swing, traditional music, rhythmic playing), while remaining comfortable for daily practice.
The Sound
The steel core provides a direct playing feel, stability, and quick response under the bow. The silver-plated winding, designed to ensure a homogeneous bond with the core, contributes to a clear, bright timbre and good harmonic richness, with appreciable power for incisive phrases and expressive playing.
