The Korena take
This Larsen Original A string is the heavy-tension option for a 4/4 cello. Built with a steel core and precision-rolled stainless-steel flat-wire winding, it uses a ball-end format. It is designed for classical cello repertoire and is described as warm, easy to respond, and capable of pronounced projection. Rapid tuning stability rounds out the stated playing characteristics for players replacing an A string with this exact heavy specification.
