VIENNA ARTIST Cello String Set by Thomastik-Infeld
The Best of RONDO and Spirocore
The VIENNA ARTIST Cello String Set combines some of the finest cello strings by
Thomastik-Infeld in a perfectly balanced premium setup:
RONDO Experience® A, RONDO D and
Spirocore Tungsten G and C.
This carefully selected combination brings together the brilliant response and expressive flexibility
of the RONDO strings with the legendary depth, projection and stability of Spirocore Tungsten.
The result is a rich, powerful and well-balanced sound designed for the highest demands of
professional cellists.
Why This Combination Is Exceptional
The RONDO Experience® A string reacts extremely quickly to the finest playing
impulses and produces an open, brilliant and overtone-rich sound. Thanks to its reduced tension,
it feels smooth and flexible under the fingers while maintaining impressive tonal power and presence.
The RONDO D string complements the A string with a focused, carrying tone and
creates a particularly smooth transition into the lower register. This gives the instrument a
consistent and even sound across all four strings.
In the bass register, the Spirocore Tungsten G and C strings provide a powerful
foundation: deep, precise, stable and highly projective. Their tungsten winding delivers a resonant,
overtone-rich sound with outstanding carrying power.
The interaction between these two Thomastik-Infeld series is what makes the VIENNA ARTIST set
so special: RONDO adds brilliance, flexibility and modulation, while
Spirocore Tungsten contributes depth, warmth and authority. No string dominates –
all four work together to create a homogeneous, professional sound.
