String Set Larsen Aurora for Viola 4/4
Larsen Aurora viola strings are an exceptional blend of quality, performance and affordability. Designed for amateurs and professionals alike, these strings ensure a balanced, responsive and vibrant playing experience. Aurora Viola strings rejuvenate your viola. They respond faster and more easily, reducing the need for painstaking bow handling in comparison to other strings. Aurora increases the overall sound of your instrument, which is crucial when playing those passages that need to cut through in chamber music ensembles. The wide dynamic range allows greater freedom in bow technique, letting you play both closer to and further away from the bridge with ease.

Larsen Strings develops, manufactures and distributes strings for bowed instruments for violin, viola and cello globally. Based in Sønderborg, Denmark, the company was founded by Laurits Th Larsen in 1990. The executive director of Larsen Strings A/S is Thomas Petersen.
In 1990, he received a request for 300 strings to deliver to an American colleague, a request that he was unable to comply with. His solution was to start producing them himself in the family garage. A few months later, he perfected his first cello guitar string.
