* All strings are ball end, unless otherwise specified.
Tzigane strings have a lower tension than the regular Larsen strings to produce a more gut like response. They are designed to give an authentic sound to traditional music.
4/4 instruments only.

Pros: happy with these strings better and more even than dominants once in tune always in tune my third set of these sweet warm melow nothing harsh or hoarse good for 8-10 months 2-3 nights a week playing traditional irish music tried thomastic spiracore dominants daddarios enfild blues all different but ok evah pirazzi brilliant strings but to dear and dont last so its been larsen for me with no regrets
Cons: wee bit slow reaction on the d-g strings for reels but not a problem when you get used to the strings not realy a con but noticable
Other: changed my rosin from normal black hidershine to gustave bernardel what a difference

Pros: This strings sound beautiful. Full of overtones of the good kind and with enough power. They add very good playability in higher positions in G & D. Low tension and very easy to play them.
Cons: I had many troubles with the A string. It sounds dead and in one set it showed degradation in the area in contact with the bow in less than 2 weeks. I changed it with another Tzigane A, and it is also a very dead string, moreso compared with the rest of the set, which is colorful and resonant.
Other: The G & D are absolutely fantastic. Worth to consider those strings as a permanent solution if I found an A & E combination that matches them.

Pros: Good sound on my fine fiddle, great sound on my older Glaser. Responsive, good to feel and stay in tune well. They sound better than a lot of brands when double stopping. Overall good but I'll be going back to the other Larsens on my main instrument.
Cons: None

Pros: Decent sound, average price for what you get.
Cons: Not as powerful sounding as the regular Larsen strings. The A string often produces a very scratchy sound. Could just be me of course, but it seems a lot less forgiving than the other strings. They're also a little brighter than I prefer, on my handmade chinese violin.
Other: They're not bad, but I won't be replacing them with more tzigane's when I come to change them, which will probably be a little earlier than strictly necessary.

Pros: I bought them to help with playing false harmonics and the lower tension makes it indeed a little easier to play them. I like the A and E string, pleasant sound and very clear. They sound quite different from other strings.
Cons: The G string does not sound very good in higher positions. I would not use them again for that reason.

Pros: Powerful. Nice sonorous G-string.
Cons: Sound somewhat "twangy" - if you know what I mean. Indeed seem to require a lot of rosin, which I don't like.
Other: OK for now, but probably would not buy again.

Pros: Excellent depth of sound, great response at all dynamics. Brilliant projection and power. They take hardly any time to settle and hold tuning very well too! Very satisfied.
Cons: Occasionally had one string that never quite settles properly. They generally only last about three months but that's due to heavy use.

Pros: Nice warm tone on G and D strings
Cons: I found the A string more prone to scratches and squeals, compared to other's I've tried. I wouldn't recommend these to relative beginers like me who are already prone to producing unpleasant sounds!
Other: Thicker than other strings I've tried, I prefer the Prims I have now switched to.
