Choose the right material for you

Many string makers put a lot of care and thought into the materials for their strings. Larsen is no exception. The A string in this set is made of a solid steel core and has rolled stainless steel flat wire wound around the core. These strings come with either a ball end or loop end depending on your viola's tailpiece. The lower three strings have a multi-filament nylon core. Synthetic cores like this are often used for their similarity in tone to gut while also being stable in different temperatures or humidities. The D string is wound with precision rolled aluminium flat wire and the G and C strings are wound with pure silver. These materials are chosen for their combination of tone colours and deliver a warm sound. In particular, silver is excellent for the lower strings due to the dark tone quality silver possesses.

Larsen offers their viola A string in three tensions, if you prefer a quicker response for your top string then the light tension will be a good option for your set up. The rest are offered in two tensions, medium and heavy. If you want a darker tone with a harder bow response then a heavy tension will be a great tension for you.

Larsen Strings

Larsen began in 1990 when Laurits Th. Larsen was tasked with obtaining 300 strings for a colleague. Larsen decided to make the strings himself in his garage. In 18 months his first cello A string was produced. Since then Larsen has expanded producing strings for violin and viola as well as cello. Larsen provides their strings in a packaged envelope like many strings. What sets Larsen apart is that they are embossed and sealed in their envelopes, ensuring the authenticity and quality of each string from Larsen.
