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. These strings are highly recommended for instruments that tend to be bright and have a simple/uninteresting sound. Larsen Tzigane violin strings, without exaggerated tension, are built on a newly developed multi-filament nylon 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.  Materials: E - Carbon Steel A - Nylon Core, Aluminum Wound D - Nylon Core, Silver Wound G -  Nylon Core, Silver Wound Tension: Medium (Recommended) Strong (Stark) Size: Full Size Only
