Jargar Strings
In 1950, Danish cellist Jarl Hansen, a member of the renowned Royal Danish Orchestra—the world's oldest symphony orchestra—sought more from his cello than the gut strings he was using could offer. Driven by a desire for a more powerful sound, Hansen dedicated himself to understanding string quality and tone. Over six years, he experimented tirelessly, refining his ideas and hearing the potential for a richer sound in his mind.
His persistence paid off when he founded Jargar Strings. Based on a steel core wound with delicate threads of pure or alloyed metal, these strings quickly gained acclaim for their warm, brilliant tone, stable pitch, and durability. Unlike traditional gut strings, Jargar Strings offered greater strength, a faster response, and a powerful sound capable of handling even the most demanding compositions, like those of Wagner.
The superior quality and projection of Jargar Strings soon made them a favorite among classical musicians worldwide—a reputation that continues today. Always innovating, Jargar Strings now also offers options made from synthetic materials.
