PERSONAL TOUCH
Like the rest of the Solea range, the Solea viola strings are made with a bespoke synthetic core. The company focused on response, comfort of playing and balance for the set. The A is wound with aluminium, while the D, G and C are wound with a range of metals. Three tensions are available: light, medium and forte.

SHINING EXAMPLE
Thomastik-Infeld has released the Rondo Gold violin strings. Although made to be similar in playability to the Rondo, Thomastik describes the new set’s sound character as warm, shiny and precise. The set includes two carbon steel-core E strings, one tin-plated and the other gold-plated. The rest have synthetic cores, with the A string wound in aluminium and both D and G strings wound with silver.
