Larsen Soloist's edition, steel core A string with stainless steel winding. Larsen Soloist Edition cello strings complement the Original range. Purpose designed for enhanced projection and volume particularly at the higher harmonics. Slightly higher tension than the standard, Original string to accept enhance bow pressure.
Soloist edition strings are based on a solid steel core, but different in properties and dimensions from their regular counterparts. The A and D strings are wound with precision rolled stainless steel flat wire, the G string with tungsten.

Great Quality string!
Pros: The string produces a big, bright sound without losing sound quality. It settled very quickly and with minimal playing. As the name implies it is louder than standard Larsens, so the Soloist is a great pick if your playing requires a big sound output.
Cons: As with all strings (that I've tried out), it does lose a bit of its brilliance after playing in, but not enough to mean you should avoid purchasing this make of 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
