Description
The D’Addario Prelude Cello Single D String in 4/4 scale with medium tension is a dependable replacement string for full size cellos. It is ideal for students, returning players and ensemble musicians who need a consistent, musical D string that slots easily into a mixed set. Known for a warm, clear voice and quick response, Prelude offers a confident feel under the fingers and a stable pitch centre that helps developing players focus on intonation and bow control. If you want a reliable classroom, rehearsal or performance spare that will settle in quickly and tune with ease, this is a smart choice.
Built on a solid steel core for strength and tuning stability, the Prelude D string delivers durable performance with a smooth feel and even bow response. It resists the effects of temperature and humidity, so it stays true through changing conditions and regular practice. Compared with a basic Student 1 tier string, you get a more rounded, less metallic tone, faster settling after fitting, and better longevity, which means fewer changes over the term. The ball end design makes fitting straightforward on most standard tailpieces and fine tuners.
Perfect for UK tuition and school use, this single D is robust enough to handle daily practice, sectional rehearsals and concerts, yet refined enough to help learners shape a musical sound. Teachers value its consistency across different instruments, making it easy to recommend to a whole class or orchestra. For families and schools, the combination of honest tone, easy tuning and long service life offers excellent value. Keep one in the case as a reliable spare, or refresh a tired D to restore balance and confidence before exams, assessments and performances.
