Description

Designed for developing cellists using a 3/4 instrument, the D’Addario Prelude Cello Single G String in medium tension delivers a clear, dependable voice at an approachable price. It is ideal if you need a robust replacement string, a spare for rehearsals and concerts, or a straightforward upgrade from worn factory fittings. The G string provides a steady, centred tone that helps young players lock in intonation and build confidence, while offering enough projection for ensemble work. With quick tuning stability and a smooth feel under the fingers, it suits students, parents and teachers who value consistency from lesson to lesson.

Prelude strings use a solid steel core that is resilient, long lasting and unaffected by changes in temperature or humidity. On the G string that core is wrapped with nickel, giving a warm yet focused character with plenty of clarity, and a response that speaks easily under the bow. Medium tension finds a comfortable balance between projection and comfort, so the string settles quickly and stays in tune without placing undue stress on a smaller instrument. The polished winding feels smooth for shifting and vibrato, while precise manufacturing keeps the diameter and tension consistent, making setup straightforward for students and technicians alike.

Perfectly suited to the demands of UK tuition, this 3/4 G string offers the reliability needed for daily practice, school ensembles and graded exam preparation. Its stable tuning complements fine tuners and standard tailpieces, and the ball end makes installation simple for teachers, parents and repairers. Whether you are refreshing a single worn string or keeping a spare in the case for peace of mind, it represents strong value and dependable performance. The balanced tone blends well with common student sets, helping young players produce a clean, confident sound that supports good bowing and intonation from the first note of every session.
