Complete sets and mixed string combinations

A complete set gives you a defined starting point. A mixed combination can be a deliberate way to address an individual string, but there is no universal rule that one brand must be used throughout. Check each string’s size, gauge and fitting, and make one considered change at a time. Larsen explicitly designs the two Il Cannone cello versions to be combined.
