Thomastik’s comments are below, but we remind you strings react differently with each cello and player!!!
They share a similar power to Spirocore G and C, but with a more refined sound. They provide a similar ease of play to Rondo, but with added openness, sound color, and yet a more focused sound.
They strike a balance between Rondo and Versum Solo, offering the versatility of Versum Solo without requiring as much effort from the player.
Spirocore’s G and C strings are available with chrome winding, silver winding, and — the most popular — tungsten winding.
