Set value
Save $10, plus the matched response of a complete pack
Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
All four strings are voiced together by Larsen for the same tension profile. You get a matched response from C through A without mixing voicings or brands.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $10 versus the four individual strings, and removes the friction of ordering one string at a time.
Concert-ready quickly
Allow 24 to 72 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle, then the set is ready for solo, chamber, and orchestral work.
About Larsen Original
Vibrant, balanced, and dependable.
Larsen Original viola strings are synthetic-core strings known for their tonal clarity, projection, and responsiveness. Made in Denmark, they strike a balance between brightness and warmth that suits a wide range of playing styles and repertoire.
The consistent and even response across all four strings makes them a practical choice for players who move between different musical contexts in the same week.
