Good value strings to upgrade student instrument.
8 out of 8 found the following review helpful

Pros: These strings are good to upgrade the basic set which is supplied with most student cellos. They are not quite as good as Jargar but I think they are better value than Pirastro Piranito. They also come in small sizes so the tensions seem to work well. I recommend these to my students to improve the sound of budget instruments.

Cons: None

super quality and very sonorous tone

Pros: super quality and very sonorous tone, swiftly supplied at a competitive price

Cons: A and D are giving an appreciably thinner sound than G and C - but this could be down to instrument (bridge/soundpost positioning?)

Speedy delivery!
1 out of 3 found the following review helpful

Pros: Fast delivery. Perfect for my daughter's entry level cello. Replaced a broken string perfectly and we now have some spares.

Cons: No cons.

Other: As a parent of a young cellist I don't know much about cello strings! It's confusing to know which to buy.
