RONDO: the 2022 innovation designed for projection and finesse
Launched as a 2022 innovation, the RONDO series targets a demanding balance: a clarity that carries, a well-centered power, and a more velvety texture to avoid any harshness. The set is designed to offer a sense of continuity in playing, with a clear sonic identity and stable emission.
For which cellist and styles?
This set is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced cellists seeking a responsive string capable of supporting nuanced dynamics and articulation work, while maintaining a beautiful roundness. The "clear and velvety" signature suits the classical repertoire, chamber music, and any situation where sound clarity and attack precision are priorities.
Sound characteristics
With their carbon steel core (A and D) and stability-oriented design, these strings promote an immediate response and a sharply focused sound. The G and C strings with a spiral core and chrome tungsten winding provide density and foundation in the lower register while maintaining good definition. The overall aim is a clear, powerful, and centered output, with a tonal color described as velvety and a smooth transition between registers.
