    A very helpful and descriptive review. I wish you hadn’t applied reverb to the sound though.

    I’ve been checking out cello strings on UA-cam and I have to say, your cello sounds beautiful best sounding out of 25 videos. I know it’s in the hands but your instrument sounds great too.
    Thanks for the review.
    I’m going to try a set.

    Nice review, thanks. I don't suppose you'd have tried D"Addario Kaplans? If so, how do they compare to Rondos? I finally tried Kaplans and after a few days, they became quite nice.

    Do you still have the Magnacore set? The cello I play on now originally came with Larsen Magnacore and I really liked them. But they didn't last long. :(
    Send me a PM.
    I have a Helicore/ Jargar medium combo on my cello and it has a nice warm sound. Probably stick with that.

    I’ve been thinking of trying these, or Versum Solo or Perpetual Edition, because I’m always searching for a powerful bright, gnarly sound. I currently use Evah solo with a Spiro tungsten C. My instrument is dark but very resonant and I’m always trying to brighten it up. My cello hates Larsens too but for the opposite reason (waaaay too dark and muted, even the solos)

      Hi 🙂! What type of bridge does your cello have? Belgian or French model? I ask because you say (if I understand correctly) that you want a brighter sound.

    Hello, I like your review and I am Rondo strings all the way on my NS Design CR5 cello. I have just replaced my Rondo A with the new Rondo Experience Cello RO41XP A String and I was totally shocked at how great this string performs vs the Rondo standard A. Have you tried the new Rondo experience A string?

    Love your playing! Do you still have the same set of Rondos on your cello in January 2022? How have they lasted they lasted? I've had a set of Rondos on my cello for about six months and I think the A is showing signs of wear. But almost any A would, I guess. And I suspect my bow needs re-hairing!

      I've heard they're great, but I've also heard they die extremely quickly like Magnacores. For that reason alone (nevermind that Magnacores went so badly for me) I don't think I'll be trying them.

      @@dawnpoint honestly I can’t complain over the Magnacore! Had them for almost 3YEARS (C+G) with no noticeable change in quality (and as a Studio Cellist I recorded quite a lot) and only changed to perpetual edition because I got them for free and also liked them a lot :) .. but if I have to pay I think I’d still go for the magnacore because of the endurance.. “edition” starts getting less brilliant after a year now is my feeling..

    They're Flatwound Strings alright cause the Wrap Wire is flattened before it's wrapped around the core. Flatwound strings were invented in 1874 to replace the Gut Strings on bowed stringed instruments cause 1) they last many times as long & 2) the Flat Surface makes bowing the string easier.

    Do you think, one can combine the Jargar Superior A String with the Rondo D String, or are they too different?

    I notice you don't have fine tuners on the Tailpiece, so you've used Geared Tuners. I replaced the Friction Pegs w/ Machine Heads so it's easier to tune.

    Synthetic Core Cello Strings are becoming more popular because they're so soft underneath the finger tips.
