Thanks to Donald Trump’s tariffs, my new pair of cello strings from Austria cost $320 instead of $285

My absolute favorite of the genre (from The Death Of Stalin")

ooooooold Kaplans. Anything would be an improvement.

Was thinking maybe A-D-G Bel Canto and a spirocore E....

There’s a chart a luthier made that compares string tension too because changing the tension can change where your sound post needs to be too docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I would try the Jargar Evoke G/C string! It's comparable to Spirocore but is much less expensive. I like the whole set of Jargar Evoke, but you can mix and match.

Owner hearing all this, chimes in "It's a bad string". Luthier and are all "Wut?". He swaps out the E string, rattle is gone. He says "Bad winding or something. You'd be surprised how many I've seen." Neither the young luthier nor I have ever encountered a bad Spirocore but hey my rattle is gone

弦楽器の弦にタングステンが使われていて価格高騰中の件。
考えてみたら、私が使っているドミナントはアルミ巻き/シルバー巻きだったわ。
スピロコアでは、ビオラやチェロの弦にはタングステン巻きがあるけど、バイオリン弦にはタングステン巻きはない。スピロコアのビオラ弦のタングステン巻きは、一番太いC線だけ。太い弦の場合に効果があるのでしょう。
軽く検索した範囲の有名どころでは、ほかにタングステン巻きの弦は見つけられなかった。

MANY years ago I tried Wolfram Spirocore for my G and C as someone suggested it, and I HATED the G. It had a horrible metallic twang, and I ended up tying a tiny bit of rubber band around it by the bridge to take the edge off. Was ages before I could change it.
