Announcing the introduction of the
Opal Gold Cello Strings
Anastasia Kobekina demonstrates each string Opal Gold
The Opal Gold Twin X-core.
Thanks to the innovative twin X-core, the sound of Opal Gold cello strings is as warm as that of gut strings, with a range of overtones that provides the freedom to create your own sound.
With a fast reaction, clear articulation, and powerful volume, Opal Gold cello strings empower you and your instrument to be always at your best.
Opal Gold cello strings are the result of an extensive research process, investment in technology, cooperation with the most sensitive players and a close coordination of all our multidisciplinary teams.
The G & C have 2 steel cores, each wrapped in opposite directions giving strength, flexibility, and the feeling of lower tension when in fact it is higher. This gives a clear, brilliant sound but with the warmth of gut, and ensures a perfect match with the A & D making a perfectly balanced set.
See where you can try these strings below.
