Versum strings impress with a beautiful tonal balance: a sweet top and a warm, velvety and round bottom. With their
focused sound and precise and powerful into-nation they give your instrument a unique personality and offer you great versatility in expression. A vast spectrum of colors and an ideal balance across all strings provide support for the cello‘s lower voice while accentuating its soloistic opportunities.

a transparent, rich tone and a warm timbre. They are 100% nickel-free, suitable for play-ers who have allergic reactions to nickel. The Belcanto string system enables individual custom i zation of sound without compromising tension balance by mixing strings from both sets – Belcanto and Belcanto Gold.

114 115Dominant Cello Strings
Dominant strings, made with a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core, provide the tonal warmth and feel of a
gut string while being impervious to changes in humidity. The sound is soft, clear with a stable intonation and they are rich in overtones.

124 125Spirocore Cello Strings
Spirocore strings have a flexible multiwire spiral rope core. They offer a longer period of musical vibration and signifi-
cantly reduce inertia. Spirocore strings are equally effective when playing arco or pizzi-cato. They are highly responsive and long lasting. Spirocore strings, widely recognized as “the reference standard”, are renowned for their distinctive tone and playability.

128 129Spirocore 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.„david finckel
