Complementing the Original range and purpose designed for enhanced projection, focus and volume particularly at the higher harmonics as demanded by the professional solo player. Our Soloist Edition is offered in soft, medium and strong for A and D and medium and strong for G all optimised slightly above the Original equivalents.
The strings are based on solid steel cores, different in properties and dimensions from their Original cello counterparts. The A and D wound with precision rolled stainless steel flat wire and the G with tungsten/flat wire.

Combine the familiar warmth of Larsen Original and Soloist strings with the focused power of Il Cannone Direct & Focused and Warm & Broad strings.

In your own words…
“I can’t tell you how much better my old instrument sounds. The A string is ringing like a great tenor, the middle two are full of warm colours and the bass is fabulous.”
Rohan de Korte – Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
“After using the same combination of strings on my instrument (1849 Charles Boullangier) for a few years, it was with utter delight that I discovered a new degree of responsiveness, warmth and even tone with this new combination of Larsen Strings.”
Michelle Wood – Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
