At Mondomusica New York, Larsen Strings will also organize the seminar "Musical strings: their design and impact on sound" featuring Thomas Zwieg and Laurits Th. Larsen.
We asked Laurits some questions about their participation at Mondomuisca New York.
 
The U.S. are the largest market in the world for musical instruments: are they an interesting market for stringed instruments and for your product in particular?
The U.S. market has since our company was founded 1990 been most important to us. Both professional and amateur musicians have recognized the value of our products and have been very loyal to our brand since first introduced. Also, the US school system systematically provides opportunities for young children to learn to play an instrument. Hence the US market is interesting, as we have a unique portfolio of fractional strings for the talented youngster.
