Guiding your search for the perfect sound.
Whether you are looking for a string set which can bring more brilliance, warmth, focus of sound or broad harmonic spectrum to your instrument, the Sound Compass shows you the direction.
Keeping in mind that strings are characterized by many other features, our aim is to offer you a simple, easy to use chart, which can help differentiating between the sets of Larsen strings available.
To find out more about our strings, please consult our product factsheets where you can read about projection, volume, tension, tuning stability, playability and response, core and winding material, playing-in-time, reliability and maybe first of all a more precise description of the sound colours of the string sets.
