Larsen Tzigane violin A strings deliver a smooth, saturated and warm sound, inspired by Maurice Ravel’s work Tzigane. Designed for rapid play-in time with excellent focus and projection, Tzigane violin A strings offer a mellow accompaniment for brighter- to neutral-sounding instruments. They are available in medium and heavy tensions, with the heavy tension offering greater volume and bow resistance. Larsen Tzigane violin A strings are made of a multi-filament nylon core wound with aluminum, and come with a ball or loop end.
