Thomastik Rondo Cello Strings
The new Rondo cello strings from Thomastik, are
simply amazing strings. With the recent new
string and material technologies, the Rondos will surely
become a main staple for cello players. First,
while they are very direct and clear sounding, they are
super warm. Players usually accustomed to the
"newness" edgy sound at the beginning of the note
vibration of their favorite strings, will notice that the Rondos have a very open
and warm reponse and responsiveness. So much so
that some have already commented to us that the new
strings almost make their newer cellos sound more "old Italian"
or that the cello shows a sweeter, warmer and expressive
side they never had before.
About the two A string choices. While the
Rondos (thankfully) come in one gauge, they do offer two
distinct A strings: When the Rondos first came
out, only the RO41 string was available, but then soon
after, they introduced anothe A string they call "A
Experience"! (RO41XP) The XP is actually 700
grams lighter (tension) on your cello. Why order this
one? If you have an A string that tends to be
"harsh" or just a little too stiff for your liking, this
(XP) is your string then. Another great attribute
with the XP A string is that with the lighter tension,
it frees up the entire range (all 4 strings) which warms
up the cello, widening the response and tonal spectrum
for the whole instrument.
Unfortunately, as most everyone knows, the only way to know for sure which
one your cello (and you) will like more, is
to try them
both and compare!! We offer an exclusive here for those that
want to buy a set, but we include BOTH A strings, at
significant discount to you.
