Description
The D’Addario Prelude Cello Single G String in 1/2 scale and medium tension is a reliable replacement string for young cellists, parents and teachers who want consistency without fuss. Designed to deliver a warm, clear voice with easy bow response, it helps developing players produce a confident sound in lessons, practice and ensemble playing. If your child’s G string has snapped or dulled, this single string makes it simple and affordable to restore the instrument’s balance, projection and tuning stability, keeping progress on track and performances stress free.
Built around a durable solid steel core, Prelude strings are known for their stable pitch, forgiving feel and long service life. The medium tension G balances strength and flexibility, giving a secure left hand feel with clean articulation and smooth shifting. The surface is engineered for dependable bow grip, reducing scratchiness while encouraging an even tone right across the register. Resistant to humidity and temperature changes, it settles in quickly and stays in tune, making it a clear step up from basic starter strings that can fight back or lose their voice too soon.
This 1/2 size G string is a practical choice for UK tuition, rental fleets and school orchestras, where robust performance and easy fitting matter. The standard end fits most student tailpieces, so replacements are straightforward between lessons or rehearsals. Its dependable intonation and balanced tension help learners focus on bowing and posture rather than chasing tuning, supporting steady progress through early grades. Offering excellent value for money and consistent quality, it pairs naturally with other Prelude strings, helping small cellos sound their best for daily practice, concerts and exams alike.
