Larsen Strings A/S, Elholm 6 A, DK6400 Snderborg, Denmark

Larsen Original for Viola

The Larsen Original for Viola
Our Larsen Viola A has very nearly become the default choice of the
ideal viola set up. Offering versatility and projection combined with
long lasting and consistent performance.
Medium lends a lovely mellow sound, while strong offers brightness
and power. Larsen Original for viola C, G and D strings are
recommended in particular for bright sounding instruments.
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.

String Details
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.
