Description
The D’Addario Prelude Cello Single A String in 3/4 scale is a dependable replacement for young and developing cellists who need a clear, singing top string that speaks easily. Designed specifically for 3/4 instruments, it delivers a confident voice and fast response under the bow, helping players project in lessons, ensemble rehearsals and small performances. Medium tension keeps things comfortable for the left hand while giving the right amount of resistance for controlled articulation. If your existing A has dulled, become difficult to tune or lost its sparkle, this single string lets you refresh the sound of your cello without buying a full set, and it integrates smoothly with most student and intermediate sets.
Built around a solid steel core with a durable, corrosion resistant winding, Prelude strings are known for stability, longevity and a warm edge to the classic steel clarity. This A settles in quickly, holds pitch reliably and offers an even feel across first position and beyond, so bow changes and string crossings stay tidy. Compared with typical Student 1 tier strings, you get more consistent intonation, a fuller tone and better bow response, all while keeping maintenance simple and costs sensible. Medium tension strikes a practical balance, supporting a focused sound without feeling stiff, which makes shifting, vibrato and delicate dynamics more achievable for progressing players.
Perfect for UK tuition and school use, the Prelude 3/4 A string copes well with varied classroom temperatures and daily practice routines, so tuning remains calm from warm practice rooms to cooler halls. Its resilience suits busy schedules, where instruments are frequently tuned, packed and carried between lessons and rehearsals. Teachers value its predictable response for developing bow control, and parents appreciate the strong value it offers over time. Whether you are replacing a tired top string, matching the rest of a Prelude set or pairing it with another student friendly set, this single A provides a straightforward, reliable upgrade that supports steady progress and confident playing every day.
