The Korena take
Larsen Original is a medium-tension viola A string built with a solid steel core and precision-rolled stainless-steel flat-wire winding. It is intended for violas measuring 15 to 16-1/2 inches, making instrument size the key fit check. Medium tension is described as providing brightness and power.
