Mirca Strings & Ebony Cleaner
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER has been formulated mainly with vegetable and mineral components that deeply clean the strings and the fingerboard, leaving a thin protective and softening film that contributes to extending the life of the strings.
It is made up of a network of lamellar liquid crystals in conjunction with mineral micro particles, biodegradable surfactants and vegetable oils that facilitate the release of active substances on the strings and fingerboard, prolonging their conservation, shine and hydration.
MIRCA helps limit the appearance of microorganisms that reduce the life of the strings and the degradation of the ebony of the fingerboard through deep cleaning, intense hydration and creating a persistent, long-lasting protective film.
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER has been developed for application on ebony fingerboards and strings made of different metals (silver, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, chrome, bronze, etc). It offers optimal cleaning by removing traces of grease, oil residues, rosin, bacteria and dirt in general.
It is packaged in an acrylic airless container to prolong shelf life and is presented in 40ml or 1.35 fl.oz containers.
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER is antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Its application incorporates in the strings and the fingerboard an excellent tactile recovery that facilitates the playing of the instrument making, if it is the case, the sweat of the hand becomes less assimilable by the ebony and uncomfortable.
Taxes / VAT and shiping not included.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply a small amount of MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER to a cotton pad or cotton cloth, rubbing along the strings and / or the fingerboard until all rosin residues and dirt are removed.
Subsequently, and only for application in strings, the remains of MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER can be removed with a cotton pad slightly moistened with water.

I have the privilege of having been the first to try the FASTER Silver, created by José María Lozano.
The sound quality produced by the FASTER Silver is excellent. In addition to the FASTER Titanium features, caused by faster physical functioning and air movement inside the instrument, you can produce better dynamics.
The intensity that the sound acquires is physically perceptible in the hands so far that it becomes rather pleasant, as when making dough for bread. The ease of execution increases, and so does the emission rate. Doing better seems impossible, but you never know with him. The attainable bow attack is impressive. It produces many more harmonics. To sum up, as much as it may cost, given the results, it is a low price.
Bravo, José María

My violins are equipped with FASTER Titanium and FASTER Silver. From the first moment, I was able to verify that my instruments had gained in projection and harmonic richness.
FASTER helps the musician to get a sound with less effort and with excellent results hitherto unknown. My most sincere congratulations to Maestro José María Lozano, for finding what he has always sought, “the excellence of sound”.
I recommend FASTER to all violinists. -

Dear José María, allow me to share with you my opinion about your FASTER Artica 600 Titanium and Silver cello endpins, a real discovery for me. Not only do they improve the production of harmonics in the instrument, but they also produce a considerable increase in loudness. The tone in my cello has become clean and beautiful, with astonishing clarity and sharpness. What the Artica cello endpin can accomplish is striking.
Congratulations on the thorough study of the sound quality of the instruments, and on your attention towards our instruments’ accessories, which far from staying mere accessories, they turn out to be indispensable music tools thanks to you. Thank you so much!

I have installed the FASTER Titanium in three violins that date from 1663, 1850, and 2012. Thanks to this great invention, the sound qualities have improved in all of these instruments.
FASTER inspires me and helps me do more with less.

Cello soloist - Quiroga Quartet - Professor of Chamber Music of the Royal Superior Conservatory of Music in Madrid
I am delighted with my new FASTER Artica titanium cello endpin and with the Belton Grafit cello end pin stopper. I feel how the vibrations of my instrument have increased in contact with my body, with the ground and around it. The harmonics have increased notably and my cello has a greater projection without losing its usual warmth, transmitting a round, clean and enveloping sound.

Dear friends and colleagues,
The first time they told me about Master Lozano’s FASTER Titanium, I was quite skeptical and incredulous. Now it is installed on two of my violins, one old and one modern. The change with the FASTER has been incredible with no less than 30% sound, projection, harmonics, tonal richness, and great playability.
José María I’m super happy with your genius . Thank you, thank you, thank you!.

Dear Maestro, I wanted to tell you that Professor Fabbris had already put the Faster on my “Augusto Pollastri” from 1925 with excellent results!
Then after I had my Cremona luthier do the work of closing and reopening the button hole (because it was too big), he finally inserted the Faster into my second instrument as well (a 1917 “Serafino Casini” published in the book “La Grande Liuteria Italiana” by A.Versari), obtaining a much more homogeneous and powerful sound for this instrument too!
Thank you again for your wonderful invention and for your great work.
