D’Addario J1010 Prelude Cello String Set, 4/4 Scale Medium Tension (1 Set) –Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical, Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – Sealed Pouch Prevents Corrosion

Beginner cellist here, I recently purchased a beginner cello on amazon and decided to upgrade the bow with a Viotti Carbon Fiber Bow and change out the strings. These strings have a much nicer feel to them on the fingers and hold there tune, I noticed much easer playability as well, although that is part to the bow as well.I would definitely recommend this set of strings, especially for a beginner for there value, overall quality, and feel. The cost is definitely worth it making learning easier.

I recently bought an inexpensive Cecilio Cello on Amazon because I'm 50 and thought I'd relive my tween years of cello playing without breaking the bank. It's a slow process but I KNEW the sound could be better than the scratching sounds I was getting from the CHEAPEST STRINGS ON THIS PLANET THAT CAME with the cello.Purchased these Prelude Strings based on positive reviews. Wow!! What a difference. Now granted, I do realize that these are not the top of the line strings (those are very expensive- almost more than what I paid for the cello!!!) but by simply changing out the strings, my cello sounds well, like a Cello should sound. The strings are thinner than the original set and therefore easier to press and find the note more easily. It's a win in my book.(Note: I encountered a problem with my C string when replacing the older string and the company was VERY understanding and worked in resolving the issue very promptly and professionally. A+ Customer Service!)If you are a student or a celloist looking to replace strings without selling your blood, this is a great set!

I love these strings! The price is out of my range but I knew I had to invest... I don't regret it! I love the warm tone the strings produce and I had no problems installing them.

My daughter had outgrown her rented 1/2-sized cello so we bought a used 3/4 sized cello. The cello seemed nice for a student model, but her instructor soon informed me that the G string was having issues holding a tune and was probably in need of replacement. I decided that it would be wise to buy the whole set as I would probably need to replace them all eventually. The D'Addario Preludes seemed to be well reviewed and had a moderate price-point so I went with them. So far, I have only replaced the G string, but what a difference - very stable (tunes well and stays in tune) and has a good full tone. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but for a student grade instrument, these work well. These are a nice sounding string for a moderate price. Coming from guitars, I was a bit shocked at what they get for a set of cello strings but I resisted any urge to buy a set of cheapies. Do your budding cellist a favor and avoid them too. BTW, I was new to stringing an orchestral instrument with a floating bridge, so I searched it on YouTube. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't strung one before.

Fast shipping. Quality strings.

I was very surprised how well these tuned up especially after tuning the cheap strings that came on my budget cello. It took like 3 days for those things to stretch and settle in, but these held their pitch nearly spot on from the first tuning. That was awesome. I can tell they have a warmer sound than the tinny strings I replaced them with (even with my new-to-cello ears.) A reasonably priced upgrade that's totally worth it, and I love they're made in the USA.

As described. Go to for my campfire rig.

Well i thought this was a set of strings kind of deceptive listing its not even the string i needed so im not super pleased not sure why these were listed individually i never seen guitar or violin strings sold separately so IM giving a maximum of 3 stars im leaning more towards 2 stars but 3 it will be
