Larsen StringsVirtuoso Violin E String 4/4 Size Carbon Steel, Medium Gauge, Ball End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Larsen’s medium-gauge Virtuoso E is a ball-end string for 4/4 violin, made from solid, unwound carbon steel. It has moderate tension and is described as offering strong response, playability and sound modulation, with rich, nuanced sound and exceptional volume. Within the Virtuoso E options, the medium version is the choice aimed at those handling qualities, while the heavy version adds bow resistance and a more focused, soloistic sound. It suits warm-to-neutral sounding instruments.
Strong match
Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
