Larsen StringsTzigane Violin String Set 4/4 Size Heavy Gauge, Ball End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The heavy-gauge Tzigane set provides G, D, A and E strings for a 4/4 violin using ball ends. Its heavy tension is specified for greater volume and increased bow resistance. Construction varies by string: silver-wound multi-filament nylon cores on G and D, an aluminum-wound multi-filament nylon core on A, and a solid unwound carbon-steel E. The set is designed to settle in quickly and carries the Tzigane range’s warm, smooth, saturated sound with focus and projection for brighter-to-neutral instruments.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A full ball-end string change on a 4/4 brighter-to-neutral violin.
- Players who choose heavy tension for its stated greater volume and bow resistance.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violins that require loop-end strings.
- Players who prefer the medium set’s tension instead of the heavy option.
