Which Larsen Strings should I buy for my instrument?

Choose Larsen Strings by instrument, string position and tension, then check any size or end-fitting requirements. These options cover violin, viola and cello, but they aren’t interchangeable.
For violin, the Larsen Violin G String Medium is the G-string option here. The Larsen Violin E String Gold Plated Ball/Loop End Heavy is an E string with heavy tension; check the end fitting your tailpiece needs before ordering.
For viola, choose the Larsen Viola G String Medium if you need a medium-tension G replacement. The cello option is the Larsen Cello D String 1/8 Size Medium: note that it is specifically for a 1/8-size cello, not a full-size instrument.
The practical starting point is to match the specification of the string you’re replacing. If you’re considering a different tension, ask your teacher or repairer what suits your instrument and playing needs rather than choosing on brand alone.
