* 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.

Amazing strings
Pros: Well, I know it’s day one, but I have just put these strings on my JTL fiddle and they are really amazing. They immediately bring out more resonance on the A and E, and the D is particularly sweet and precise under the finger. The G is great, and there is a good balance across the strings, good sweetness and bright enough at the same time. I am looking forward to them sounding even better over the next few weeks.
Cons: Nothing

Rich and warm
Pros: Very happy with the sound and feel of these strings - they have a richness and warmth that I really liked. They suit my mid 19th century fiddle very well.
Cons: The aluminium wrap on the A unwound after, maybe 12 weeks which was disappointing, although not uncommon for me tbf.
Other: As they are so low tension the response on the G and D is a little slower than some other string brands - which is fine, just takes a little getting used to

Lower tension strings of mixed quality.
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: 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.

Beautiful strings - smooth warm sound
Pros: Sound is wonderfully smooth, E string beautiful no harshness or squeeks. Strings don't require too long playing in - stable in different temperatures. Expressive, adaptable and suitable for any type of music.
Cons: the A string loses its richness quicker than the other strings.
Other: Since I found these have not used any other type of string.

Pros: Rich powerful sound and a sweet brightness for good articulation.
Cons: I think the packaging for Larsen strings is a little overkill. The main problem I find is the glue they seal the string packets with. You really have to prise them open and I worry that this force could damage the sting inside.
Other: Very well balanced and versatile string set. The Tin E sounds amazingly sweet and strong on my instrument.
