Why is the Belcanto Gold C is very expensive?

Belcanto Gold C -re. cost of string
I see what you mean. Although the cost of a set of Belcanto Gold strings at discount is comparable to a number of other sets, the tungsten-wound C string is about 30% higher than a similarly wound Spirocore and about 40% higher than the tungsten Obligato. The other Belcanto Gold strings seem to be cheaper than the competition. I have found the Belcanto Gold C string to be especailly responsive for a C string.

I don't know the basis for the pricing policy, it would not keep me from using the strings, but I would likely shop around for the best prices.

I don't know, either, but I am having the same experience as Andy - by far the most responsive C I've ever tried. Really wonderful. Beautiful, rich sound on my cello, too. I also went the direction of the set.

Laura, come Monday, you'll be able to try of my cellos, one with all Belcanto gold, one with Belcanto Gold A and D strings, and one with none.
