✨🎻 Welcome Julia Choi to the family of Larsen Performing Artists!

We are excited to welcome violinist Julia Choi to our family of Larsen Performing Artists. Julia’s artistry, musical integrity and expressive voice resonate profoundly with our commitment to craftsmanship and creativity.

“Larsen strings transformed not just my sound, but my voice as a musician. With their rich colors and effortless response, I found new confidence to speak and sing through my violin - to shape each phrase with clarity, nuance, honesty, warmth, and intention.
For the first time, I felt truly able to say what I wanted to say with my instrument naturally and with less effort!” — Julia Choi

Julia is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and has performed with leading ensembles including the New York Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra. She is also co-founder of the acclaimed Hyon Trio.

Julia performs on Il Cannone Gold strings, bringing her remarkable musical vision to life with depth, warmth and effortless resonance.

We are thrilled to share that Rainer Cocron - violinist & specialist for fine stringed instruments and Head of Sales at Ingles & Hayday - is now part of the Larsen Strings Family as our newest artist.

With a career that spans performance, craftsmanship and expertise in some of the world’s finest instruments, Rainer embodies the artistry and dedication that define Larsen Strings.

“Il Cannone Silver really are the missing link between the Il Cannone Gold and the Il Cannone Soloist sets. The name is spot on as I do perceive particularly silvery overtones which are brilliant and bright yet the strings retain depth and a rich palette of colours at the core. I do not have to make any compromises using this set and haven’t come across any instrument that wasn’t improved by it!”

Thank you, Rainer, for the insightful feedback and for capturing the essence of the Il Cannone Silver set so beautifully.
