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

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.

Well, cello strings are not cheap. But I tried saving money and bought some cheap ones online and two of them broke in less than a month. I have tried these Preludes now on a 4/4 and a 3/4 cello and two electric cellos. For the money they are hard to beat. There may be better strings out there that cost more, but I am thinking now that buying anything less than these is false value. I am a beginner cellist but am currently really liking these for the price. I currently have some helicore strings on the 4/4 and those do sound slightly better. If you are on a budget and just beginning cello I don't see how you could go wrong with these.

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!

They work. When the instruments do anyhow.

Bought as replacement strings for my sons 4/4 cello and we’ve had them on for about a month and they are working really well.

Actually used this for a low B-flat on a 7-string electric violin. Works pretty well!

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.

Purchased full set of strings for 4/4 cello. Received two D strings, no G string. Ended up just purchasing a separate G string rather than returning the full set. At least I have a back up D string now.
