Product Description
Larsen Tzigane violin strings, without exaggerated tension, are built on a newly developed composite fibre bundle core. Tension creates volume rather than carrying power. The unique combination of overtones makes for a quality sound not unlike that of a great singer - a sound that carries while, at the same time, is pleasant to the ear of the player. Tzigane strings offer a sound and response similar to gut strings, providing a broad range of tonal colors. A complex, rich tone with good focus and projection.

Big sound and stable pitch, though your mileage may vary
By Romain K
I've tried Larsen Tziganes on my two violins and got varied impressions on the different instruments. In both cases, I got a big sound, and they held pitch well over many hours of playing. In short, they're good, but not for everyone.With the Tziganes on my "better" instrument a beat-up 1860's(?) French(?) violin, the sound was kind of honky under my ear, though stable for months on end. The E kept on whistling; an old E from the Obligato set was easier for me to manage with Tziganes on the other strings. To me ear, the sound was never warm or complex as the Pirastro Obligatos I've used for several years. On the positive side, there was the big sound, and the low string tension made the Tziganes easier to tune slip-free than the Obligatos. I've since returned to a full Obligato set.On my "travelling" violin, a 1970s Meisel previously strung with Thomastik Dominants, I am definitely happier with the Tziganes. Fingering is easier than the Dominants, and there seems to be more warmth and personality in the sound. I'm keeping the Tziganes on that instrument.
