We have always taken the time to explore the technical opportunities and possibilities in pursuit of the perfect process and combination of the finest materials. But the critical component has always been you. We work with musicians in string development as an essential phase of the Larsen process. Working with you to discover the soul of your instrument.
Our solid steel core Cello range is completed by an E string. This string is wound using precision rolled aluminium. At Larsen Strings we make every effort to ensure that our strings are of the highest quality with the consistently unique Larsen sound.
Our A and D strings are wound with a special precision rolled stainless steel flat wire. Meanwhile, the G and C strings are wound with tungsten, providing a deep, warm and focused sound with great power and personality. All four strings are offered in tensions soft, medium and strong.
Philippe Muller
‘I love playing the Larsen strings, mainly because their sound is large, aristocratic and resonant as well as seductive, highly efficient and very noble’.

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
