A fractional variation faithful to the Larsen signature
The Larsen FRACTIONAL strings were developed to offer cellists playing on fractional instruments a sensation and output comparable to the 4/4 reference. The goal is clear: to maintain the same manufacturing philosophy, with careful scaling to respect the vibrating length and mechanical constraints of a 3/4 cello, without sacrificing projection or harmonic richness.
For which musician and uses?
This set is intended for cellists equipped with a 3/4 cello seeking a denser and more projected sound, with an immediate response under the bow. It is particularly suitable for the classical repertoire (studies, orchestra, chamber music) and all situations where a warm timbre is desired while maintaining precision. The sensation of medium tension promotes comfortable and consistent playing, useful both for progressing and for stabilizing the instrument during rehearsals.
Sound characteristics
The design combines two approaches to optimize the balance of the set on a 3/4. The A and D strings, with a steel core and stainless steel winding, provide a clear attack, good clarity, and appreciable tuning stability. The G and C strings, with a spiral core and tungsten winding, emphasize flexibility and depth, enhancing the warm and focused character of the lower spectrum. The result aims for a rich, powerful, and easy-to-project sound, while maintaining a homogeneous response across all strings.
