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
Thanks for the contest entry 👍
Thank you for the review. It's difficult to hear the differences on my little tablet speaker....
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!
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.
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.
Excited to try this new line of Larsens. Not sure how they will stack up against Magnacores though!
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
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.
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.
Good to see Larsen offering more string varieties. This was a very helpful video. I can’t wait to try them.
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.
Thanks for the demo, can wait to try them on my cello
Could you demo a full set of broad and warm strings?! Really helpful!
I love the sound of the combo...that you can mix/match depending on the instrument. I'm considering purchasing the starter pack!
I have been using the Magnacore strings and am anxious to try the new Canonne strings
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 would love to try these strings
Wow! Loved hearing the differences of both the strings on the different cellos!
Excellent video, very useful and helpful. Great sounding strings.
Looking forward to hearing more. The mix and match idea sounds great.
Looking forward to hearing more about these strings. Mix and match seems like an interesting idea.
Thank you for the demo! Love the starter set!
Thanks for the video! I've liked the Larsens strings I've had. Excited to try possibly try these out sometime!
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 :)
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?
Loved hearing the differences! I’d love to be able to try these strings out
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?
I've typically used Larsen Soloist, but my cello favors a warmer sound so these sound perfect!
How exciting to have a new cello string to try!
Very exciting news strings! Big sound! Would love to try them on my cello!
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!!!!
Would be great to hear them compared with Larsen Soloist
Wow, these sound great! Would love to try them out on my cello :) Already love the Larsen soloist strings!
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.

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?
Super clear and useful video!! Subscribed!!
Are there any plans for Larsen to make a set for viola? the warm and broad sound great!
Oh how wish I could win the double starter pack of these new strings to try out !!! Hey, maybe I will get lucky. 😉
Sounds good! I enjoyed listening to the variations in sound.
Nice review, I would love to try a set of Cannone.
Definitely worth a try. I love the sound of the C warm and broad!
Loving the tone on these new strings!
Great review. I'd love to hear the warm and broad G on the second cello.
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.
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!
They definitely sound great and I'll need to try them soon!
Awesome! I'd love to win these strings!
Very interested. Use Larsen A,D and Bel Canto G,C right now.
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.
Awesome sound. I like the starter pack.

The way he puts down the cello.
Interested to see how these new innovation strings pair with their previously established line up!
Just another way for Larsen to take our money 😂
Sounds cool! I’m primarily a violinist/violist, but maybe I’ll check those out for my cello!
I would love to give these a try.
I would love to try out this set!
Awesome demonstration - thanks!
Sounds like a great product!
Great demo. These strings would benefit my bright Guadagnini model cello.
Thank you for the review! I found it very helpful!
Great strings. My cello came setup with them.
Very helpful video!
liked, commented and subscribed. not on facebook or the other so cant enter those...bummer.
I would look into these when I buy my cello.
Larsen makes great strings!
Thanks for sharing. Will give it a try!
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 UA-cam video (with a lot of compression). Thanks anyway for the comparison!
Would love to have these strings on my cello!
Sound was great. Good video!

I like the warm and broad C string.
Indeed very impressive

Very interested in these strings!

Loved the video, very informative!
Beautiful sound!
My cello is very bright. I would love to try bo th types of strings on my instrument.
Sounds like an interesting new string option..
These sound amazing!
I want to try these even though the word "Cannone" is a little too close phonetically to "canon"...
Lovely strings. Hope I win!!!
