Grade 8+

Rich sound even in the high registers

Pros: An excellent string, quick to settle down and great response/sound across the higher registers. I have been testing different strings for a new instrument and the Larsen A is clearly one of the best (specially combined with Larsen wire core G and C!)

Cons: Nothing

Larsen Soloist (cello) - lovely warm sound

Pros: I have bought a Larsen (Soloist) set before, and tried Pirazzi's and Obligato's inbetween, and found myself going back to Larsen. The sound is so clear, sweet, warm and vibrant on my (c.1830) cello, and (for me) exceeds the others. They don't need any play-in, and are very consistent. Although they don't last as long as I would like, this has also been the case with other strings I've tried. I would definately recommend.

Cons: none.
