Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
The Virtuoso D and G in Soloist voicing are balanced by a Medium C and Larsen Original A, giving a consistent character from the foundation up through the top voice.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $10 versus the four strings purchased individually, with the additional convenience of a single order.
Concert-ready quickly
Allow 24 to 72 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle, then the set is ready for solo and orchestral work.
About this voicing
Strong tension, maximum projection.
The Soloist set is built for players who perform as soloists and need their viola to project over a full orchestra. The Strong (Soloist) D and G strings add tension and presence compared to the Medium voicing, delivering an authoritative tone that carries in large venues.
The C is in Medium tension to maintain a natural balance in the lower register, and the Larsen Original A provides a clear, vibrant top voice that integrates naturally with the Virtuoso lower strings.

Frequently asked
Larsen Virtuoso Soloist viola set, in short.
What is the difference between the Soloist and Medium sets?
The Soloist set uses Strong (Soloist) tension D and G for additional presence and projection, suited to soloists projecting over a full orchestra. The Medium set uses Medium tension across D, G and C for a balanced, comfortable feel with strong projection.
Why does this set include a Larsen Original A?
Larsen Virtuoso does not have its own A string. The Larsen Original A is the recommended pairing, integrating naturally with the Virtuoso lower strings.
How long do new strings take to settle?
Allow 24 to 72 hours of normal playing for pitch to stabilise. Retune gently in small increments during the settling period.
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.
