Not as special as I'd hoped.
Pros:
The D and G stings are responsive. The whole set were playable immediately, no breaking in or weird metallic sounds like Dominants. I like the tone of the D and G.
Cons:
The A string is a bit weak-sounding. The packaging is OTT, with wax seals on the envelopes; it all has to be paid for.
Other:
I don't think I'll be getting these again: apart from the break-in period, they seem pretty much like Dominants. But everybody's styles, experiences and instruments are different.

Very well balanced and versatile string set..
Pros:
Rich powerful sound and a sweet brightness for good articulation.
Cons:
I think the packaging for Larsen strings is a little overkill. The main problem I find is the glue they seal the string packets with. You really have to prise them open and I worry that this force could damage the sting inside.
Other:
Very well balanced and versatile string set. The Tin E sounds amazingly sweet and strong on my instrument.

Pros:
Lovely Rich warm tone, did not take long to settle. Love them!
Cons:
Intonation slipped a lot while strings settled but that happens with most strings. Pegs on my violin could have contributed towards this.

Probably better for folk music !
Pros:
These strings seemed quite bright with pizz.
Cons:
I was advised to try these by a musical colleague as they are meant to be more 'gut like', but unfortunately they did not suit my violin and were not mellow enough. I probably should have given them a bit more time to settle but with a major event coming up decided to put my trusty Evah Pirazzi's back on.
Other:
I'm sure with the right instrument these would be nice strings. The tone would probably suit folk type playing.
