Manufactured at a medium level of tension, the Larsen Virtuoso will allow your violins tone to blossom and open up its natural range of sonority, yet allow you to fill the concert hall with sound all the way to the back chairs. Soft feel under the fingers, yet extremely articulate and responsive. Synthetic core with fast settle-in time.

I'm really disappointed. At the beginning they have a nice warm sound but after 16 days of practice this is how the D string looks like (A string is starting to look very similar).

Violin strings are pretty subjective, what I think sounds good may not sound good to others. Also, how well strings match up to a particular violin or playing style can vary quite a bit.Just some disclosure, I'm an amateur player at best. I have six years of playing experience and not super qualified on the topic. That said, I'll share my impressions of these strings.INITIAL BREAK-INI've found that the Larsen Virtuoso strings have a slightly longer break-in time the others I've tried (I'm coming from Evah). They start out very metallic, that typically fades after a day. After that, they remain quite unsettled...against a tuner I can see the frequency all over the place when I play them. That makes tuning a challenge until they settle down. They tend to stretch out over the course of a week or so, sometimes just a bit longer. So expect a lot of tuning during the first 7 to 10 days.SOUNDOnce the frustration of the break-in period is over these strings really come into their own. Very colorful, very pretty, definitely on the brighter side. My violin is slightly darker and warmer in tone so these strings complement very well. Sympathetic vibration of bowed string to open strings is quite audible and pleasant.My personal experience with the E string is that it tends to whistle. This is probably a function of my limited playing experience and less so the string itself. For that reason, I swap out the Larsen E with a Dominant E. The Dominant doesn't sound as nice but eliminating the whistle is more important to me.LIFEAs the Virtuoso strings age they tend to lose their color and vibrancy gradually, enough so that I often catch myself wondering if I'm doing something wrong. They seem to settle into a sort of bland, warmer tone after losing their punch. I typically replace them after six months of daily play, about an hour or so per day. That may be a little excessive but it's really because I'm chasing the sweet colors and tone that they display early in their use.QUALITYI've used these strings for about two years now and have had no early breakage, no defective strings, and consistent life and use out of them.Larsen Virtuoso have become my standard string on my violin. I really like them, how they sound, and how they play. Break-in period is a bit frustrating but completely worth it to my ear.

I love these strings. They are rich in overtones, and yet still have a warm, powerful sound. I especially like the A string. Many A strings I've tried have been buzzy and weak when compared to the other strings, but this Larsen A is very, very nice. they have nice, quick and accurate bow response, and lend themselves to extreme control over dynamics and articulations. Now, they are expensive, and if you're familiar with Larsen strings then you know they do suffer from some quality control issues. You may buy a set of these, only to have one of the strings fail, but that isn't an indictment on the quality of the strings when you get a good set. They also do not last very long, which is a big negative for some, I know.Still, if you are a professional musician like myself and you want to find that perfect tone, then you won't care about the QC issues, price, or short lifespan, because when you are performing, you know you have crazy good tone.

I really like Larsen strings. I've used the Virtuosos set and the Tzigane and enjoy both. I love the rich tone of the Tzigane strings and they are very responsive to light pressure. However, the D string is extremely finicky after about a month and that can get expensive replacing regularly. So I tried the Virtuoso set as an experiment. I am very impressed with their longevity and open bright sound. I have few wolf tones with these strings and while they are not as responsive to light pressure as the Tzigane, the fact that I don't have to replace a faulty string often is a huge bonus and compensates for needing a smidge more pressure for response than the Tzigane. I experimented again with the Peter Infelt Pi strings recently and that was a huge disappointment to me. The tension was so aggressive on those strings that even not tuned high enough my bridge warped, broke, and took the sound post out too. That ended up being an expensive experiment I deeply regret and it was the Virtuoso set I returned to after my violin was back from the luthier. I feel these are a safe string and I just didn't want to make any more expensive mistakes at that point. I am pleased with Larsen brand in general but if you want more bang for your buck, get the virtuoso set because you won't be changing out false toned strings often.

These strings are fantastic to say the least. I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but when I saw the fancy packaging these came in I thought it was to embellish something that might have been wanting in quality; I couldn't have been more wrong.Tension: Medium turned out to be the perfect tensile strength for my instrument, as the bridge and fingerboard sit moderately higher than usual. The perfect balance achieved through this creates a pronounced projection and wonderfully full tone from a normal draw.Tone: Beautiful, crisp, clean and full sound produced by these strings. I came from using the Pirastro Wondertone Solo Series with a Gold E string and I was more than happy using these at the time, but feel that I cannot go back after having experienced this set.Sustain: The notes produced by these strings seem to hover in the air for just the right amount of time.Growl: The G string doesn't have as much bite as I am used to hearing, but that does not make it unpleasant. What I have traded for in character is a more full and luxurious tone that projects far more than usual with better control.Obviously my own experience is different from what others might witness, as these finding are completely based upon the qualities of your own instrument. Mine happens to have a very mellow and deep sound that was only improved with these strings, where as it could be different for yours. If you are looking for something that will provide an amazing presence to your instrument's tone and sustain, then these are likely the strings for you. If you want something that has more character (i.e. Growl), then you are better off searching for something else; at least in regards to the G string.
