C and G strings have a harsh, metallic edge.

Pros: The A and D strings are good, as usual.

Cons: The G and C strings have a strange, metallic sound that is hollow rather than mellow, and having played them in rather thoroughly this has not improved. I have replaced the lower strings with my old set as I am not happy with the way they sound. Ideally I would like at least a part refund on the lower two strings, as they now need replacing again.

Other: I have been using Larsen strings for the past 20 years, and I have never had this issue before. To my knowledge I have had the Tungsten/Wolfram C and G strings on every other occasion (I still have the packaging and keep old strings as spares). UPDATE - We are sorry to hear the G & C strings seem to be faulty, we will always remedy this where we can, and its important to us to keep the manufacturer updated with regard to potential faults. We will drop you an email regarding solution.

Quality helps improvement.

Pros: Still bedding them in and looking forward to improving my technique with them and will continue to use them.

Cons: None

Other: The strings arrived pretty damned quick and in good order. I will be ordering another set to replace the spare set I already have, which are not as high a quality.

Nice tone but a little strident

Pros: Nice bright tone, even sound, and a smooth string on the finger

Cons: Quite pricey, and if anything, I found the tone to be a little strident.
