Cristiano Gualco: "Thomastik-Infeld has always been on my instruments. For my violin Nicola Amati, Cremona 1640, I specifically use PETER INFELD^® G and E strings, and DYNAMO^® D and A strings. They are strong, reliable, long-lasting, and ready to play on stage in minutes. Plus, they allow to express one’s finest details in performance."

Paolo Andreoli: “I play a Paolo Antonio Testore instrument from 1750 and have been using Thomastik-Infeld strings on my violin for many years. I started with the PETER INFELD^® series and immediately noticed their quick response and powerful sound. After several years, I switched to the RONDO^® strings, which offered the same qualities as the PETER INFELD^® but with a more refined sound and greater brilliance. For the past few years, I have been using the RONDO^® GOLD, where I have finally found what I have always been looking for: crystal-clear clarity and great sound power, perfectly combined with a warm, full tone rich in nuances. Additionally, they provide flawless sound projection across different contact points on the string. I am eager to discover future Thomastik innovations because, beyond their reliability, I am always searching for innovative materials and advancements in this field, which is so essential for us string musicians.”

Simone Gramaglia: “I’m playing on two beautiful violas at the moment: a G.P.Maggini “Joyce” 1600 and a G. Torazzi 1680. I use Thomastik-Infeld SPIROCORE^® C, G, D and DYNAMO^® A on the Maggini. A full set of DYNAMO^® on the Torazzi. I came to this conclusion after having tested many of the wonderful Thomastik strings. And the result - reporting what colleagues say - is spectacular. SPIRCORE^® and DYNAMO^® have different qualities for different instruments and both are reliable, stable and very well sound projecting.”

Giovanni Scaglione: “I play a beautiful cello Dom Nicola Amati, Bologna, 1712. I use VERSUM SOLO^®, Thomastik. I found a beautiful mix of sweetness and focus sound, always round. Many musicians confirmed my opinion."
