Pros: The A cello Larsen string is a string which is quite responsive, which I think is a foremost consideration. It is also in tone a warm, honey-like rich tone, never strident; but instruments do vary, so players have to try one on which is always worth the investment.
Cons: It may change a bit within the first 4 months, but they don't give way to a unpleasant difference of sound, just slightly different, brighter on my cello.
Other: They are "classy" the Larsen strings are!

Pros: Stayed at pitch well, even when just put under tension Slightly softer, more gut like sound than the Larson A I had put on previously Excellent and consistent tone over the length of the string- nice harmonics The open A is less harsh than most metal stents I have tried on my cello A definate improvement on the non-soloist version
Cons: Seems to have a power closer to a gut string
Other: Matched the other Larsen strings (D,G,C) well

Pros: This string is a real winner as a top string for most cellos - it has a fantastic tone, and stays in tune well, it also doesn't need much playing in.
Cons: There is nothing to say against this string.
Other: I have subsequently purchased a whole set of Larsen strings, Soloist for the A & D, (medium) and the new Magnacore (medium) for the G and C. The complete set is just lovely on my old English cello with lots of repaired cracks and woodworm, and well worth the cost to enjoy the sound.
