The Magic of Rondo Gold

Ideal for professional and ambitious violists, as well as violas that benefit from improved response, the Rondo Gold A String enhances tonal color and brilliance without sacrificing warmth. Compared to standard Rondo strings, which have a focused and direct sound, Rondo Gold strings are warmer, with more depth, resonance, and harmonic complexity. They offer greater freedom of expression and add a luminous golden glow to every performance.
