Sometimes as string players, we get locked into a groove. We play the same instrument, same bow, use the same rosin, and same strings day in and day out because it’s what we’re used to. However, string instrument technology is constantly evolving, and strings are the category that see the most innovation.
The Larsen Aurora strings are one of the latest new strings on the market, and they are a great all-around string. Like gymnasts who sometimes specialize in events such as balance beam or uneven bars, some strings really shine in a particular category such as brilliance, warmth, or projection and are used by musicians for those qualities. With the Larsen Aurora strings, you never have to choose. These versatile strings give a balance of focus, warmth, and brilliance for a variety of players and instruments from students to professionals and are even offered in fractional sizes. To top it all off, Larsen Aurora strings are affordable, giving all players the opportunity to learn, develop, and perform with professional grade strings at an accessible price.
What exactly makes these strings so playable?
Well, it all starts with the materials. Larsen takes great pride in the materials that they use and their quality control mechanisms throughout the production process. This yields an incredibly high-quality product whether you use their multi-stranded synthetic core strings (like the Larsen Aurora Violin A string) or their concentric wound steel core strings (like the Larsen Aurora cello strings). Their proprietary string technology also offers consistent control and performance while providing pitch stability despite fluctuations in temperature or humidity.
We were so curious about these strings perform that we actually did a side-by-side play test with other popular cello strings. Check it out here!
As you can see in the video, the Larsen Aurora cello strings are certainly able to hold their own against other popular sets. At about $115 per set for cello strings, these strings are the perfect all-arounder in terms of price, quality, and versatility. If you’re a player looking to level up your playing or if you’re just looking for something new to try out, be sure to check out the Larsen Aurora line. They are currently available at Shar Music® for violin and cello in a variety of sizes and gauges so that you can get the string that is perfect for you and your instrument.
