Laurits Th. Larsen. The Founder & CEO of Larsen Strings A/S.

At Larsen Strings we develop, produce and market strings of the finest musical quality for bowed string instruments.

Il Cannone® for Violin
Designed to bring out the best in your violin, Il Cannone individual strings and sets are available as two versions. The Medium variant has a more moderate tension with an open, colourful, projecting, richer and powerful sound whilst the Soloist brings a fuller tone, with even more presence and focus. Rusanda Panfili performs with Il Cannone.
