Cello String D Soloist Medium : D Soloist - improvement over standard Larsen

10 years ago

I found the sound of Soloist upper A and D strings

a very good match for my cello and an improvement

in the quality of sound over my previous standard Larsen. The sound was rounder on the D string and took less effort to come out. They did not take a lot of playing into.

My only reservation is on the quality. Neither string lasted very long. One within a few months during

tuning and the other after 6 months of playing , whereas previous strings lasted much longer.

A violin maker called them "temperamental" and

this is a considerable drawback if correct.
