VERSUM SOLO A

With the VERSUM SOLO A comes a new free-dom of expression! It impresses with its richly smooth, saturated warm tone colors and solo-istic brilliance. Even in full performance it does not compromise in sound, both in the delicate Pianissimo as well as the rich Fortissimo and still offers the diverse tonal palette a cellist needs on stage. Thanks to its effortless and elegant response VERSUM SOLO is swift to react. With a beautiful body and distinguished projection, the VERSUM SOLO A is a league of its own!

VERSUM SOLO D

The new VERSUM SOLO D compensates for the common flaws of D-strings and offers the cap-tivating presence, textured body and vast color spectrum you have been searching for. Its excep-tional design made of ultra-light aluminum and a synthetic coated copper winding allows for a much smaller string diameter than commonly expected from a D-string. The result: a brilliant, powerful and rich sound that turns the D-string into an ideal bridge between G and A. It also enables you to easily draw harmonic overtones from your instrument. After a short settling time VERSUM SOLO lets you express elegant piano nuances and lets you live your solistic presence to the fullest.

For over 18 months VERSUM SOLO was put to the test with more than 100 international soloists and professional musicians in 300 independent try-outs.

VERSUM SOLO G+C

VERSUM SOLO G- and C-strings embody an as yet unrivalled synthesis of explosive dynamics and graceful flexibility with the best possible response. Their solid, deep core tone is surprising with its brilliant and vivid note. Their modulation capability is just as exceptional: whether soft and sweet piano, valiant fortissimo passages or simply the earthy response – the sky’s the limit for the player.

The intonation can also be fully customized: whether soft, hard or sharp, from Baroque to modern, VERSUM SOLO G- and C-strings offer the highest level of possible tones and variations. Combined with VERSUM SOLO A- and D-strings, the descant strings sound even livelier and more dynamic. At the same time, they support an exquisite sound with vocal quality.

The VERSUM SOLO edition offers unprecedented possibilities of combining color, sound and tex-ture. These strings were designed for profound power, ideal response and optimal projection – and they deliver! With effortless virtuosity they are poised to enhance the performances of even the most discerning players and cut through any acoustical situation.

“The new Versum Solo G+C are a great blend of power, richness, and ease of playing. At first, I expected to run back to my Spirocore tungsten G+C, but weeks and months later, the honeymoon is indeed not over. I love these new strings, and feel as though this change is a “forever” one (even though the Spirocores are still fantastic). I have used them with the Versum Solo A+D strings on all the instruments I own (JB Vuillaume, Goffriller, Gagliano) and the LA Philharmonic’s Stradivari, and I have arrived at the same conclusion on each instrument: these strings are truly amazing. The most dramatic difference for me was with the Vuillaume, which seemed to take on another sonic dimension – even greater depth of sound – from before. The Versum Solo set also has a terrific bonus: longevity. Never have I had a cello string last as long with such freshness, and also very little initial playing-in time. Bravissimo, Thomastik-Infeld, for achieving the impossible!”

Twin Set

VERSUM strings impress with a beautiful tonal balance. Their focused sound and precise and powerful intonation give your instrument a unique personality and offer you great versatility in expression.

A vast spectrum of tone colors and an ideal balance across all strings provide support for the cello’s lower voice while accentuating its soloistic opportunities. The strings boast stability under changing conditions and stand the test of time.

They respond instantly, convince with their great dynamic range and are ideal for principal and orchestra players as well as chamber music.

VERSUM A and D inspire with their sweetness and their sunny and open sound, giving them height and air and a sense of warmth and fullness.

VERSUM C and G enchant with a velvety warmth, a powerful round color and beautiful depth. They create a smooth and saturated sound with a crisp texture that envelops your audience in its soundstage. Just like SPIROCORE, VERSUM is also engineered around an ultra-flexible spiral core and the game-changing tungsten winding.

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.”
