Right away I need to confess that Rondo strings are in the top three of my all-time favorite strings so you can imagine my excitement when I heard about the Rondo Gold.
Last week I got a package in the mail from my friends at Connolly Music, the first and only set (for now) in North America. How lucky am I!!!

My first impression was that I was seeing an old friend. They have a lot of the qualities of the Rondo strings which all grew to love and want, but there is a little more there, more sweetness, a warmer shinier sound. As Thomastik-Infeld put it these strings add a golden glow to your performance, something I agree with wholeheartedly.

They are very easy to play, feel great under the fingers, flexible and soft compared to others.
Projection is excellent both in the practice room and even more importantly in the concert hall. Very focused and crisp! The response is quick, fast and reliable

To sum it up…

Rondo Gold

Projection: Excellent
Color/Depth: Warm, sweet-sounding
Focus/Clarity: Very focused, clean and crisp
Response: Fast and reliable
Feeling great under the finger: flexible, soft compared to all others, springy quality
The break-in period is fast, maybe a few hours or a day max in my experience.

Thanks for watching! Please give us a like and subscribe to our channel for future reviews and videos.

Many thanks to Thomastik-Infeld and Connolly Music for providing this sample set and to Richard Liukis for filming.
