Why choose Larsen Tzigane for Violin
Larsen Tzigane violin strings, inspired by Ravel’s Tzigane, are crafted to produce a warm, smooth, and richly saturated sound, perfect for bright or brilliant violins. These strings offer an expressive tonal quality with an overlay of sensual warmth, enhancing the natural resonance of your instrument.
Warmth and Color for Bright Instruments
Tzigane strings are the warmest violin strings in the Larsen range, crafted to mellow out the sharpness of brighter instruments. They are especially recommended for violins that need more warmth and depth in their sound. Their smooth, dark tonal qualities are ideal for creating a richly colored and emotionally resonant performance.
Linus Roth
“Larsen Strings are elevating my performances with unparalleled sonority and remarkable response, matching perfectly with my Stradivarius.”
Two Tension Options for Custom Playability
Available in both medium and strong tensions, Larsen Tzigane strings cater to different playing styles and instrument needs. The medium tension strings offer easy response and flexibility, making them a versatile option for a range of players. The strong tension strings are designed for those seeking more volume and resistance to the bow, making them perfect for very bright-sounding violins or soloists who need greater projection and intensity.
Tzigane strings settle quickly, ensuring they are ready for performance soon after you strung them on. Whether you need a delicate, dark sound or a more powerful presence, Larsen Tzigane strings offer the versatility to bring out the best in bright and brilliant violins.
