good sound

Pros: great sound and even tone

Cons: tuning across from the D (also Larsen Soloist) is not the same - I don't know which string is out, but it has happened before with this string

Better on my cello than Larsen standard

Pros: So much more character than Larsen standard on my cello. Fuller, brighter, more overtones, bigger dynamic range. Also reminds me of a Gut A string somewhat that I tried once with a more raspy texture I really miss with the Gut.

Cons: None

Grade 8+

Decent but not perfect

Pros: Retained good, bright tone quality without harshness of some other makes.

Cons: Not quite as nice a "feel" as the old Lycon strings but my supply of those has finally run out.
