By Larsen Strings

“The Il Cannone strings are like my vocal cords, and the cello is my heart: together they make the Feuerman Stradiviarius sing like a real voice.”

Larsen Magnacore Arioso for Cello

Larsen Magnacore Arioso cello strings bring a beautifully expressive, singing voice to your instrument, making them an ideal alternative to gut strings.

With low-tension G and C strings for warmth and resonance in the lower register, paired with medium-tension A and D strings for focused projection, Arioso strings provide the tonal richness and smooth response of gut but with enhanced stability and durability.


  • Perfect replacement for gut strings
  • Singing voice with brilliance and projection
  • Very easy response in pianissimo
  • Low tension on C and G

With the completion of Magnacore Arioso Christopher Franzius, First Principal Cello of the NDR Elbphilharmonie and a longtime friend, has been one of the driving forces involved in the development. Already passionate about Magnacore Arioso C and G here is Christopher’s review of the final completion with the A and D:

“The new Arioso A and D strings not only hold the well-known charm of the warm Larsen sound but set also new standards with their harmonious brilliance and easiest playing up to the highest positions. The singing character of these strings facilitates wonderful, cantabile, legato passages and brings to me as a player inspiration to discover new possibilities with my instrument. Combined with the C and G strings already on the market, they form an ideal symbiosis. The instrument sounds more free and open, it resonates longer and simply feels good. I would say: Strings to satisfy the highest of demands.”
