■ Richard Cocco Senior strings combine a long history and extensive experience, countless trial and error, brilliant ideas borne from collaborations with great musicians, and the reliability and peace of mind of skilled craftsmen, resulting in exceptionally high-quality strings that are truly one-of-a-kind. (Richard Cocco Senior strings are made in Italy, not America, and are time-consumingly handcrafted.)
■Major string manufacturers mechanize much of their manufacturing process, and the resulting products truly deserve to be called ""finished products."" However, R. Cocco Senior strings use only traditional string-making machines and high-quality materials, and remain stubbornly committed to hand-wound manufacturing methods.
■Compared to the instrument itself, the quality and character of strings tend to be overlooked, and as a result, it's not uncommon for safe strings to be used. However, there's something special about strings that are carefully crafted by hand, with the utmost care and attention paid to each one, and they bring out the best in the instrument even more.
