Oops, I typed the wrong name.  The post above is for Pierre (@Fiddlerman).  It looks like the photo is okay once I submitted it.  It did not look like that when I uploaded the photo.

Hmm...I typed Fiddlerman and it's coming up as Fiddlerguy when I add the @ sign in front of it.  Freaky.  The photo of my strings is 3 posts up.  Sorry for any confusion.

@Kim D to get FM use the "@" followed by "admin"   - no quotes of course....

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Those are not only Larsen but Larsen Virtuoso. I can tell by the E string.

However, it's not certain without seeing the color in the scroll. Should be a solid light beige yellow color as apposed to the Red color ends on the regular Larsen. That E string is believe it or not, an original Larsen Virtuoso string. You may want to test a Westminster or Lenzner Goldbrokat E in the future. The Westminster will bring out the lower registers in a way. The Lenzner is just a pure fantastic string that tends to bring out the best of the other strings.

The color at the scroll is light beige.  Thank you for the recommendations.

I guess that means that they are decent strings.  I'm not doing them justice at the moment, but I'm having fun learning.  I was kinda hoping that I had a hidden talent, but looks like a lot of time and hard work is ahead of me.  violin_girl

Even though they are great strings, we had a violin in here the other day that didn't sound great with them so I exchanged them for Dominant and it sounded better. That instrument was used to having Dominant and for some reason kind of needed them. :)
You never know from instrument to instrument which strings will suit best. Experimenting with different strings is not a bad thing.
