Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.

Four strings from the same Larsen family voice the cello as a unit, with even response across the registers.
Saving over singles
The complete Set is priced below the sum of the individual strings.
Ready out of the package
One purchase, one matched set, one fitting. Useful when a teacher restrings several student instruments in a single afternoon.
About Larsen Original
The Danish bench standard for cello strings.
Larsen Strings has hand-finished cello strings in Sonderborg, Denmark since 1991. The Original line is the family's steel-core cello range, designed to deliver clear projection, an even response from string to string, and reliable tuning stability across temperatures and humidity.
For the 3/4 cello, the same construction and winding philosophy is scaled down so the string speaks at the lower bowing pressure typical of younger players, without losing the clarity that makes Larsen recognisable.
The four voices
What each string brings.
A String · Top
Bright clarity
Solid steel core with stainless-steel winding. Speaks immediately under the bow with a clean, focused top register.
D String · Upper-middle
Open and rounded
Solid steel core with stainless-steel winding. Blends warmly with the A while keeping the cello's singing register present.
G String · Lower-middle
Even and articulate
Multi-stranded steel core with tungsten winding. Carries the harmonic weight of the lower register without becoming muddy.
C String · Bottom
Grounded depth
Multi-stranded steel core with tungsten winding. Provides the cello's foundation with a stable, full-bodied bass.
Sizing & fit
Made specifically for the 3/4 cello.
This is the 3/4 set. Strings are voiced and scaled to the shorter string length of a three-quarter cello, so tension feels right under the fingers and the bow draws an even tone across all four. They are not interchangeable with 4/4 strings.
If the cello in front of you is a 1/4 or 1/2 size, the matching Larsen Original Smaller-Size set in those scale lengths is available on the singles page.

Frequently asked
Common questions.
What is included in the set?
One A, one D, one G, and one C string, all in the Larsen Original 3/4 specification.
Why is the set cheaper than buying singles?
The complete Set is priced below the same four strings purchased individually.
How long do they last?
With daily playing, expect roughly six to twelve months before the response begins to soften. Students who play less often will get longer.
How long do they take to settle in?
Two to three days of playing time. The A and D usually stabilise first.
