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

Violin soloist – Madrid - Spain
I have been pleasantly surprised by the FASTER Silver. My violin sounds clearly cleaner and rounder, and I find it much easier to play. I can achieve the same effects as before with much less effort, and it helps me find greater sonic freedom. In addition, the harmonics sound clearer, which translates into greater projection. A great discovery!

My first meeting with Mr. Jose Maria Lozano was a unique experience in the best possible way. He opened me the door to the world of new sound options and I believe this is only the first step in the search for an amazing sound quality.
I can only recommend his FASTER Sound Systems for violin, so please try it and let yourself begin a new journey with your instrument. Sincerely.

My experience with the Viola FASTER Titanium is always highly satisfactory.
I consider that the gain in resonance, in tone, in volume, harmonics and consistency in the sound, makes it an absolutely innovative accessory and to take into account when setting up an instrument, of course by the hand of a master luthier of the quality of José María Lozano.

No praise is exaggerated to extol the magnificent invention of the illustrious Spanish luthier José María Lozano, called FASTER. A system that extracts a clearer, more focused sound, with projection and great quality. My 1787 Nadotti cello never sounded better!
Thank you Maestro!

The FASTER Artica cello endpins by Maestro José María Lozano are a true revolution for the sound of the cello. From the first moment, you feel how the instrument offers you all the harmonics with a rich and wide sound that enhances all its colors. It is ideal for playing as a soloist, as in chamber music or in the orchestra. It offers you an incomparable feeling of freedom, being able to fix the cello on any surface. It is without a doubt a great evolution for our instrument that every cellist should be able to enjoy!

The FASTER Artica 600 cello endpin give my cello a larger bouquet of harmonics, the sound is easier to emit and this is a great advantage!
Finally, the tungsten carbide tip is something extraordinary as it grips all surfaces giving great stability to the instrument. A beautiful technical innovation that has the great advantage of not changing the aesthetic appearance of the instrument simply by adding an extra touch of elegance.

In a market in which, many times, small illusions in the increase in the amount of sound push us to acquire products that are not strictly necessary, I find that all the sound systems developed by José María Lozano (Cello endpin, Stoppers and cello end-butons), produce an objective and noticeable improvement in the quantity, warmth and quality of the cello’s sound.
The FASTER Sound Systems brand develops products that enhance your instrument in a surprising way and before considering that an instrument does not meet your needs, a visit to Maestro Lozano’s workshop or the Faster Sound systems online store seems inescapable.
