Chris is very pleased to endorse his string maker of choice  -  the Super-Sensitive String Company. He uses Red Label and Sensicore strings for his violins, and Red Label strings for his cello.
"In my opinion the fine folks at Super-Sensitive Musical String Company, a time honored American institution, make the best strings in the world for bowed instruments. The quality and consistancy of their products is unmatched and their strings are readily available for players of every level and in every style of music. I have trusted them now for over 30 years."
