Larsen StringsVirtuoso Violin A String 4/4 Size Aluminum Wound, Heavy Gauge, Ball End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a 4/4 violin, this Virtuoso A string pairs a synthetic multi-filament core with aluminum winding and a ball end. Its heavy gauge brings the higher bow resistance associated with the Virtuoso heavy option, giving the player a more deliberate feel under the bow. It is positioned for warm- to neutral-sounding instruments and for players who want the focused, solo-oriented response described for the heavy tension.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the A string on a full-size violin that uses a ball-end fitting.
- Players seeking the heavier Virtuoso feel, with more resistance under the bow.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer the greater response and sound-modulation range attributed to the medium gauge.
