Description
The Astrea Cello C – 4/4-3/4 size is a single replacement C string designed for full size and three quarter cellos. It suits beginners, returning players and teachers who want a dependable, musical low string without spending heavily on a full set. Offering a clear, centred bass voice with enough warmth to support ensemble playing, it helps a developing player produce a confident tone quickly. Whether you are replacing a worn factory string, dealing with an emergency breakage, or keeping a spare in your case, this versatile C string delivers reliable pitch, quick response and an easy feel that makes practice and performance more enjoyable.
Built with a robust steel construction and a smooth, comfortable playing surface, the Astrea C stands up to the rigours of daily tuning and classroom use. Its stable feel under the bow encourages steady articulation and keeps the lower register focused rather than boomy. Compared with typical Student 1 tier strings, you can expect more consistent intonation across positions, a little extra projection, and better longevity before the tone dulls. It is a practical upgrade for cellists who want reliability first, with a sound that blends well in groups yet still carries in a lesson room.
This string is an easy recommendation for UK tuition and school ensembles. It settles into pitch quickly, copes well with regular tuning, and remains dependable across the temperature changes of practice rooms and halls. Teachers will appreciate how straightforward it is to fit on most standard tailpieces, and how securely the ball end seats. For learners, the predictable response encourages good bowing and confident shifts, while the sensible price makes it feasible to keep a spare on hand. If you are maintaining a school instrument fleet or equipping a student cello at home, the Astrea C string offers strong value and stress free everyday use.
