Larsen Viola strings offer an intense, deep and warm sound. These strings are long lasting with great response and playability. Our Viola A string is particularly recognised due to its unparalleled versatility and projection. The C, G and D strings are recommended in particular for bright sounding instruments.
Our Viola A string is made on a solid steel core. It is wound with precision rolled stainless steel flat wire. The C, G and D strings are made with a unique multi-filament nylon core. We use windings of precision rolled silver flat wire for the C and G strings, and aluminium for the
D string.
All four strings are offered in two tensions, medium and strong, the A string is also available in soft. The strong tension strings offer more volume and higher resistance to the bow.
