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.

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.

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.
