A golden, open and clear tone with a beautifully balanced blend of warmth and brilliance.
Since its introduction in 1995, Larsen’s Original Viola A has become a trusted staple for violists around the world. Renowned for its reliable projection, wide palette of tonal colours, and long-lasting consistency, it has earned its place as the reference standard for many players.
With the development of the Virtuoso Viola range, Larsen set out to expand upon this trusted foundation. Designed specifically for the D, G and C strings, Virtuoso builds upon the character of the Original A, creating a cohesive set that balances tradition with modern refinement. The result is a set of strings that complement one another naturally, enhancing the instrument’s overall depth, clarity and responsiveness.
Virtuoso Viola strings are available individually or as full sets in Medium and Soloist tensions. The Medium set offers a rich, textured sound with warmth and complexity, while the Soloist set provides greater focus, clarity and projection — ideal for players seeking additional power and presence.
