Theme:Stringed Instruments

Hello! I’m in charge of the Strings Department at Sound House.

When playing the violin, one thing you simply can’t separate from it is the string selection.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know which strings are best,” or “I want to change my current sound a bit,” then I can confidently recommend Thomastik-Infeld, a long-established manufacturer from Austria.

Since its founding in 1919, Thomastik has continued to reshape the history of strings. This time, from their wide lineup, I’ll introduce the top 5 most popular violin strings at Sound House in a ranking format!

4歳から18歳までバイオリンを習っていました。弦楽器が好きでよく演奏して楽しんでいます。クラシックな曲からはやりの曲までよく耳コピして弾いています。楽器はバイオリンとヴィオラを持っていますが、最近チェロが一押しでチェロも弾けるようになりたいなぁなんて思っています。いつか仲間を集めてアンサンブルなんかも目指したいです。
