Excellent string. Speedy service. !0/10
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Larsen 'Soloist' 'Cello A string I discovered the 'Soloist' A string about a year ago, and have been really impressed by the silky tone quality it has brought to my old French 'cello. This latest purchase was for an instrument belonging to one of my students, and it has improved the sound significantly. The String Zone, as usual, have come up trumps with a very speedy and efficient service. Thank you again!

Worth the price

Pros: Worth the price.. excellent sound quality. Made my previous cello (intermediate model of about 1000 euro) sound 100 times better. and again my present cello (about 3000 euro) sounds very good with it. All depends on the other strings though. it's amazing how changing one string can change the sound of all the others, good or bad! I'm using Larsen soloist's A and D and Spirocore tungsten G and C.

Warm, mellow tone.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: The A Soloist Soft has a very mellow and warm sound that is my favourite of them all. I have tried every option of A on my cello. It's works extremely well on students cellos to soften the tone- or the normal soft A.

Cons: When it's worn out and past its best the sound becomes metallic .....

Other: One of the best strings around.

Lovely sound

Pros: Bought for my sons on recommendation of their teacher as they are working towards grade 8, they are delighted with them and feel they are making a better sound.

Cons: None

Other: Sorry cannot be specific, I am not musical at all but my children assure me they are much much better than the previous strings (which were not cheap either) so they must be good!

Beautiful

Pros: It gives me immediate sound and resonance but the softness warms it and helps balance the strong bottom end the Magnacores now give me - cello was hitherto top heavy and slightly sharp sounding and shouty

Cons: The limitations of my own technique apart, nothing!

Other: Makes my cello ring

Definately worth a good look.

Pros: Good clear sound which 'carries' very well without any effort. I would definitely use this for solo work that needs to stand out. In general playing, this string would give great balance for an instrument which would normally be a bit weak on the treble side.

Cons: 'Soloist' is right - this string on a good instrument means there is nowhere to hide and you need to feel confident about ! But this combination is a bit strong for orchestral playing where the Standard string is a bit better.

Other: Like all the Larsen A and D strings, this is a quality string and definitely worth trying.
