View Soloist SetAbout Larsen Virtuoso
Built for performance and presence.
Larsen Virtuoso viola strings are designed for advanced and professional players who demand strong projection, brilliant tone, and expressive range. The D, G and C strings are available in two voicings; the A string is typically paired from the Larsen Original range, which is how both the Medium and Soloist sets are configured.
The synthetic core construction provides quick response and tuning stability across extended sessions. Players who perform regularly in larger venues or need a string that commands attention in solo and chamber contexts choose Virtuoso for its combination of power and expressiveness.
The three strings
D, G and C strings, in detail.
D string · 4/4 · Medium or Strong
Rich, projecting voice
The D is rich and projecting. Both voicings deliver strong presence at the tonal centre; the Strong tension adds additional authority under a heavier bow.
G string · 4/4 · Medium or Strong
Resonant lower voice
The G is resonant and full, carrying well in orchestral contexts. The Strong voicing adds additional tension that suits soloists who need a commanding lower voice.
C string · 4/4 · Medium
Deep, powerful foundation
The C provides a deep, powerful foundation with clear definition. Available in the Medium voicing for both the individual string and the set options.
A string
Pair with Larsen Original A
Larsen Virtuoso does not have its own A string. The sets use a Larsen Original A (ball end) which integrates naturally with the Virtuoso D, G and C.

Frequently asked
Larsen Virtuoso viola strings, in short.
What is the difference between Medium and Strong (Soloist)?
The Medium voicing delivers bright, resonant tone with a balanced bow weight. The Strong (Soloist) voicing uses higher tension for additional presence and projection, suited to soloists performing in larger venues over a full orchestra.
Why does Larsen Virtuoso not have an A string?
Larsen designed the Virtuoso range for D, G and C. The A string for both the Medium and Soloist sets is the Larsen Original A (ball end), which integrates naturally with the Virtuoso lower strings in terms of tension and tonal character.
How long do Larsen Virtuoso strings last?
Under regular playing the tone stays consistent for several months. Replace when the sound becomes dull or intonation in the upper positions starts to go false. Wipe rosin off after each session to extend lifespan.
Are these strings authentic Larsen?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Larsen strings through the official supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, contact us and we will arrange a remedy.
