The Larsen Original cello strings are the original strings produced by Larsen. Their distinct tone has embraced many listeners and become famous amongst cellists. These strings are designed with a classical repertoire in mind, the pronounced projection and easy response to the bow ensure the highest levels of performance for any cellist. The Larsen originals are also extremely stable in their tuning too, even the steel core strings.

Choose the right string for you

Many string makers put a lot of care and thought into the materials for their strings and Larsen is no exception. The steel in the core of all the strings allows for a superior level of projection and durability than any gut string can provide. The single steel core of the A and D strings provides the brightest and most projective sound of the set, perfect for the higher strings. The core of the G and C strings consists of a concentric multi-stranded steel core. This adds more durability and warmth to the lower strings of the set.

The winding of the strings is also of tantamount importance. The precision rolled stainless steel, like which is seen on the viola strings by Larsen, provides further brightness and durability while also being resistant to corrosion. The lower strings are wound with tungsten, a material with a much warmer and more focussed tonal quality than steel which is much more appropriate for the lower strings.

Larsen offers their cello strings in three tensions so you can pick the ideal tension for your instrument and playing style. The lighter tensions are most appealing to players who prefer a quicker response to a bow and a lesser amount of pressure needed to stop the strings. The heavy tension is great for extra power and volume, it just needs more effort to bow.

For their cello sets, Larsen also offers an additional E-string which can be bought as a single string in medium tension. This steel-cored string is wound with a flat aluminium wire in a very similar manner to the violin strings from Larsen. This string is designed for five-string cellos and can deliver the brightest sounds possible for such a high string.

Soloist Edition

If you want the ultimate level of performance for soloistic playing. Then the Larsen Soloist Edition cello strings are the perfect option for you. These strings are made to a slightly different dimension to the standard Larsen cello strings and therefore have slightly different properties as a result. The C string is omitted from the soloist edition, the colour and projection of the normal set is already perfectly capable of the warm low end.

The remaining three strings feature a solid steel core that was normally reserved for the A string. This allows the brightness and projection that the original A-string has to be shared with the other strings. Much like the originals, the winding of the A and D strings is precision rolled stainless steel and the G string is wound with tungsten. The strings' thinner diameter and slightly heavier tensions provide that extra lift to dynamics, brightness and projection that an excellent set of solo strings require for breathtaking performances.

Larsen Strings

Larsen began in 1990 when Laurits Th. Larsen was tasked with obtaining 300 strings for a colleague. Larsen decided to make the strings himself in his garage. In 18 months his first cello A string was produced. Since then, Larsen has expanded, producing strings for violin, viola, and cello. Larsen provides their strings in a packaged envelope like many strings. What sets Larsen apart is that they are embossed and sealed in their envelopes, ensuring the authenticity and quality of each string from Larsen.
