Larsen Tzigane violin string set
The Larsen L224-199 Tzigane violin string set offers a reliable sound to violins with a naturally bright tone. The A, D, and G strings feature a multi filament nylon core which produces warm, mellow tones with sharp focus. The E string has a steel core and is unwound for direct notes with clear projection. The silver and aluminium windings provide your playing with a more comfortable feel. The Tzigane strings have a naturally lower string tension to achieve a more authentic, traditional folk style. These strings are designed for full size violins and all feature a ball tailpiece end.
The Tzigane string series offers players a whole spectrum of traditional sounds.

The high quality materials used and detailed craftsmanship make the Tzigane strings a reliable choice for players to take to the studio and stage. The Tzigane range is most suited to bright violins, as its mellow overall tone balances the wood's clarity.

Ebony fingerboard
Ebony is a popular tonewood, known best for delivering clear, crisp attacks. This wood is generally much brighter than maple and features a similar density. Ebony also features oilier pores than maple and extra brittle grains, resulting in a tight grain that doesn't require any finish. This quality gives the fingerboard a natural smooth, quick playing ability favoured by many professionals. Although there are many types of wood used to create fingerboards, ebony is the darkest of them all. The wood works effectively throughout the instrument's range and is reliable for years.
