Description
The D’Addario Prelude Cello Single C String in 1/2 scale and medium tension is a dependable replacement for young cellists and busy school departments. Designed to fit 1/2 size instruments, it lets you refresh the lowest string without buying a full set, keeping costs sensible while maintaining a consistent sound. Prelude is trusted by teachers for its stable tuning and reliable response, making it a smart choice for beginners and progressing students alike. Whether you are preparing for lessons, ensemble rehearsals or the next school concert, this C string delivers a clear, musical voice that supports confident playing and helps developing players focus on technique rather than tuning issues.
Built around a solid steel core with a corrosion resistant winding, the Prelude C string is made to last while offering a warm, balanced tone for a steel design. The medium tension spec gives a comfortable feel under the fingers and a responsive bowing action, helping students produce an even sound across the range. Compared with basic factory strings, you can expect better tuning stability, more consistent projection and a smoother surface that is kind to little hands. The string settles in quickly, resists changes in humidity, and holds pitch reliably through practice and performance.
For UK tuition, this single C string is an easy, practical choice for topping up classroom spares or replacing a tired string ahead of graded exams and school concerts. It fits standard 1/2 size tailpieces and fine tuners, and the ball end makes installation straightforward for teachers, parents and learners. The durable build stands up to daily practice, frequent tuning and regular transport between home and school, offering strong value over time. Prelude’s consistent quality helps ensembles blend, keeps section work tidy, and supports confident progress in lessons, so students can focus on technique and musicality without worrying about their equipment.
