OFFLINE Larsen Soloist Cello G String, Light Overview
The Larsen Soloist Edition cello strings are Larsen's solution for strings that provide soloistic playing at the highest possible level of performance. Based on the hugely popular Larsen Original cello strings, these strings have modifications to the size and materials that enable a far greater degree of projection and focus than the standard cello strings. These properties make the Soloist Edition strings able to deliver captivating and dynamic performances where the instrument's sound can be truly appreciated.

These strings are made to a slightly different dimension to the standard Larsen cello strings and therefore have slightly different properties as a result. The C string is omitted from the soloist edition, the colour and projection of the normal set is already perfectly capable of the warm low end. The remaining three strings feature a solid steel core that was normally reserved for the A string. This allows the brightness and projection that the original A-string has to be shared with the other strings. Much like the originals, the winding of the A and D strings is precision rolled stainless steel and the G string is wound with tungsten. The strings' thinner diameter and slightly heavier tensions provide that extra lift to dynamics, brightness and projection that an excellent set of solo strings require for breathtaking performances.
Larsen offers their cello strings in three tensions so you can pick the ideal tension for your instrument and playing style. The lighter tensions are most appealing to players who prefer a quicker response to a bow and a lesser amount of pressure needed to stop the strings. The heavy tension is great for extra power and volume, it just needs more effort to bow.
Larsen Strings
Larsen began in 1990 when Laurits Th. Larsen was tasked with obtaining 300 strings for a colleague. Larsen decided to make the strings himself in his garage. In 18 months his first cello A string was produced. Since then, Larsen has expanded, producing strings for violin, viola, and cello. Larsen provides their strings in a packaged envelope like many strings. What sets Larsen apart is that they are embossed and sealed in their envelopes, ensuring the authenticity and quality of each string from Larsen.
