A Larsen Reference Extended in the Virtuoso Range
The Larsen Virtuoso series combines the DNA of the Larsen "Original" strings with a more contemporary approach. The idea: to keep the historic A string while offering redesigned D, G, and C strings to complement the playing with greater coherence and modernity.
Who Are These Strings For?
These viola strings target musicians seeking controlled playing and reliable response: serious study, orchestra, and chamber music. The A "Original" string provides immediate reference points, while the other strings deliver a more current sensation under the bow.
Sound
The A string is based on a precisely laminated steel core and a winding of flat stainless steel wire: a direct and structured response. The D, G, and C strings adopt the multi-filament synthetic core characteristic of the Virtuoso series, wound with pure silver, for a more flexible feel and a richer, more homogeneous color across the entire register.
