Full Description

Options to suit all players

Jargar offers their cello strings in three different tensions, Forte (heavy), Medium and Dolce (light). Please note that the G and C strings are only available in medium tension. Lighter strings tend to respond better to the bow and are less tiring for extended periods of playing. While having a slower response to the bow, heavier strings tend to produce a louder and more intense sound. Medium sits in between these. This choice lets you pick the best string tension for your playing style. You can also mix and match different ranges of Jargar strings together to suit your playing best.

About Jargar

Jargar began in 1956 after years of experimentation by Danish cellist, Jarl Hansen. Hansen wanted more from his cello than the gut strings he was using could provide. Hansen developed a string with a core of steel and wound with pure or alloyed metal. Like many other string makers, Hansen realised that steel cores offered far greater stability, durability and stronger tone than gut. Hansen's strings grew to be extremely popular amongst classical musicians and the company expanded to making strings for violin, viola and double bass as well as the cello.

The Jargar Superior Cello G String enhances the warm and well-rounded sound of the Classic G string. By using a thicker gauge, this string is capable of more projection and volume. Well-balanced and rich in overtones, you can achieve a fantastic dynamic range from a powerful forte to a soft and deep piano. It durability also means these strings offer fantastic value for money. This string’s tungsten winding and rope core allow it to match up well with the A and D strings from this series. You can mix and match Jargar Superiors with other types of strings to fine-tune and customise your sound to precisely how you want it to be.
