Warm, rich and powerful once settled in.
2 out of 3 found the following review helpful

Pros: I use Larsen strings for G,D&A with a Pirastro Gold Label E. I find this combination complements each other perfectly and provides a warm, rich tone with excellent response on my particular instrument.

Cons: Expensive (but worth it). Takes a while to settle (but worth it). See my notes on unraveling below (not particularly a problem for purely classical players).

Other: If you like to play fiddle tunes with lots of sliding, you might want to buy two 'A' strings per one of each other string as it has a tendency to unravel (as a guide I played two months for several hours a day during a trip before this happened). I like the sound so much I am prepared to put up with this inconvenience - the only reason I've given 4 not 5 out of 5.

Excellent strings.

Pros: I find Larsen strings beautifully resonant and full sounding, and very quick to respond. Excellent tone. Whatever else I try, I always end up coming back to Larsens.

Nice strings

Pros: I switched to these from dominants since i have been practicing more and although i am fond of dominants, i think i will be sticking with these because a) They last longer b) They dont fray badly like some dominant strings do c) They have a nice, ringing sound (obviously this depends on your instrument but these are very much worth trying)

Cons: None
