Belcanto strings offer a bright, clear and balanced tone while the
Belcanto Gold strings are transparent, rich and warm in timbre. Good
news for players with allergic reaction to nickel: Belcanto Gold
strings are 100% nickel free!
Belcanto actually started with a
young cellist visiting in the Thomastik-Infeld R&D department. Her
hands were all swollen and red because of her allergy to nickle.
Desperately she has been looking for cello string that do not contain
nickel, after all attempts to cure her allergy had failed.
To that day, nickel was belived to be the only material for cello strings that could produce the characteristic cello sound.
In
the Thomastik-Infeld R&D, that´s actually how a lot of success
stories begin - an artist steping in with a problem, an idea or a
suggestion. This time the cellist´s request resulted few year later in
Belcanto and, as international reactions show, it has become far more
than the solution for allergic cellists ...
The new string
concept for Cello is based on a modern sound. a and d string have a
steelcore, G and C string have a rope core. The C string has a tungsten
layer to beef up the volume. There are two sets available: BELCANTO,
which is a bright, clear, optimal balanced sounding set and BELCANTO
GOLD, which is transparent, rich and warm in timbre.
