Cello Essentials – Spirocore Cello Strings

“Spirocore strings have been an essential component of my career as a soloist and chamber musician since my

youth. I cannot imagine doing justice to a Shostakovich concerto, a Bartok quartet, or a Bach suite without

them. They give me everything I need as a cellist: beauty of tone, responsiveness, consistency and the

strength to cut through orchestras and ensembles, and in duo repertoire, to stand up against the power of

today‘s 9-foot concert grand pianos. They are perfectly suited to my entire collection of instruments, which

includes everything from a 1754 Guadagnini to a 2014 cello made in China. Spirocore is, and has been, my

first choice of cello string, serving every need I have on stage and in the recording studio.„
