Grade 8+
Even sound across the range
Pros: A much more even sound across the range compared with previous Jargar strings, but has to be said they were very old as I'm returning to playing after a gap of many years. My luthier put the strings on and adjusted the set up, all of which has made a big difference. Notice much bigger sound especially on G and C.
Cons: The open G doesn't reliably "sound" after several weeks of playing in, particularly when playing chords in Bach suites. But I'm honestly not sure if this is just a) a common problem I don't remember (I was never taught the "left hand pizz" trick by teachers in the 1980s and 1990s); b) that I haven't found the right rosin yet (trying Cecilia solo but not mad about it); c) rusty technique! Also was my Jargar A string maybe sweeter / richer in tone? Honestly not sure.
Other: Very good service on "next day delivery", during the xmas new year period. Ordered on 27th Dec, arrived to Northern Ireland on 31st. Just in time! Thank you.

If you can afford these strings the are worth it.
Pros: On my Granddaughts cello (4/4) I have fitted first Prelude strings. These sounded better than the factory strings. One year on I fitted a set of Jarger strings. These strings did sound better, (good A string ) Now another year on I have fitted a set of Larsen madium strings and WOW the cello has come to life. Have to tame the C string but its early days. I should have fitted Larsen strings two years ago, it would have saved me money.
Cons: The price put me off two years ago. ( I now know you get what you pay for.)
Other: My Granddaughter is grade 5+ and age 15

Great improvement in sound
Pros: These strings have certainly improved the sound on my Chinese cello and they are easy to play, (not that I am very good yet). Being a guitarist I know the value of high quality strings and these do the job very well.
Cons: None

New Larsen strings
Pros: All round good sounding strings. Replaced old set of Larsens which came with the cello.
Cons: A string has taken a bit of time to settle down -sounds a bit too metallic at the moment. C string is okay but lacks a bit of power at the lower end. Expensive.
Other: Shipped in good time.
