The Aurora Series: A Sound Identity Designed for the Viola
With Aurora, Larsen offers a versatile approach: an A string designed to deliver a sound that is both bright and warm, while maintaining good "focus" for clarity, whether in orchestra, chamber music, or daily practice.
For Which Violist and Styles?
This A string is aimed at beginner to intermediate violists seeking an easy response, but it also suits more advanced players who want a reliable, stable, and effective string. It adapts well to classical repertoire, modern styles requiring attack, and any situation where clear articulation is desired without sacrificing roundness.
Sound Characteristics
The steel core provides a direct playing sensation, good note sustain, and immediate response, particularly appreciated on the A string. The flat stainless steel winding contributes to clear projection and a balanced timbre, with controlled brightness and good focus, useful for highlighting the melodic line without excessive harshness.
