Why choose Larsen Virtuoso for Viola

Part of the Virtuoso Family for Violin and Viola

Since the debut of the Original A string in 1995, Larsen has become a trusted choice for violists worldwide, known for its reliability, projection and tonal richness. Building on this legacy, the Virtuoso Viola range introduces new options for the D, G and C strings, designed to complement the well-loved Original A.
Virtuoso Viola strings provide a cohesive sound with clear articulation, ideal for violists who need consistency and a full spectrum of tonal colors.

The Medium variant of Virtuoso Viola strings delivers a rich, textured sound, balancing warmth with an open, clear tone that allows the instrument to resonate naturally. In contrast, the Soloist variant brings increased focus and volume, perfect for performers who require enhanced projection and clarity in their sound. With Medium XL options available, Virtuoso adapts easily to different instrument sizes and playing preferences.

In your own words

“5 Stars! I recently switched to a set of Larsen Virtuoso Soloist viola Strings and I am amazed by the improvement in sound quality I have found – my playing now has a lovely rich and mellow tone which I had tried but been unable to achieve on my previous string sets. The Larsen strings also blend very well together and allow my playing to be consistent in tone and sound quality – previously I have found that my viola strings have had different sound qualities which has disrupted the tone of my playing. I would highly recommend purchasing a set of Larsen Strings!”

“I’ve been using the soloist version of the new “Virtuoso” Viola strings for a few days and I’m really happy with it.
They have a dark yet brilliant sound and they articulate clearly well.”

“Excellent products and fantastic people. That is what comes to my mind first when I think “Larsen Strings”. I give 5 stars just because cannot give more”

“Invited to come and visit the LARSEN STRINGS factory in Sonderborg, I really appreciate the professional and human behaviour of the staff. They just want to produce the best strings! Their enthusiasm is contagious.”
