Why choose Original Fractional for Cello
Part of the Larsen Original Family for Violin, Viola and Cello
Larsen Original Fractional Cello strings provide a high-quality solution for smaller instruments, ensuring that young musicians experience the same tonal richness as full-size cellos. Each string is crafted to deliver the signature warmth and smooth projection that defines Larsen’s Original range, allowing fractional instruments to resonate fully and respond naturally.
Purpose-designed for proportional balance, the A and D strings feature a high-grade steel core wound with precision stainless steel flat wire, providing a smooth, resonant tone in the upper register. The G and C strings use a concentric multi-stranded steel core, wound with premium tungsten, enhancing the depth and warmth in the lower register.
The Original Fractional strings for cello are tailored for easy playability, giving younger cellists a reliable response as they build their skills. From clear projection to rapid tuning stability, Larsen Original Fractional Cello strings allow developing players to achieve a professional-quality sound across all sizes without compromising on tone or durability. Ideal for both practice and performance, this set ensures smaller cellos deliver a full, embracing sound for players at any level.
