Pros: It is extremely ringing. Compared to the standard Magnacore A string, the arioso strings have longer lasting ring to the sound. It is definitely a singing string. I've played in solo concert 2 days after the re-stringing my cello. And although it was a bit of a change in approaching and playing on this string, the sound was noticeably open and ringing.
Cons: I have been using the Arioso A string for just over two weeks now. Unlike the standard Magnacore A string, I found that I needed to work slightly more, compared to the Magnacore string. I needed to use more bow, therfore, it made me rework my long note bow stroke that lasts longer. sometimes when not taking care of the bow strokes, it can squeak here and there.
Other: Overall, my closed up sound on A and D string with Magnacore String was much better after replacing it with the new Arioso strings. I am in love with the new ringing sound I get on my modern cello.

Singing A string with warmth and carrying power
Pros: The Arioso string is very different from the standard Larsen A - it still has the warmth but it is more ringing and bell-like. A definite improvement to my ears, and it settles very quickly once on the cello. I'm using it on a contemporary instrument, which is inherently fairly bright, and this string takes any edge off the sound, which is what I wanted.
Cons: None.
Other: Time will tell how long it lasts. In my experience standard Larsen strings can become a bit dull after a month or two, so if this doesn't it will be the ideal A string.
