Description

The D’Addario Prelude Cello Single G String is a dependable 4/4 replacement for students, developing players and school ensembles seeking consistent sound and easy playability. Set at medium tension, it offers a comfortable feel with a warm, centred tone that blends well in section work while remaining clear for lessons and daily practice. Ideal when only one string needs changing, it matches seamlessly with existing Prelude sets and lifts the performance of many entry level instruments. Quick to tune and steady under the bow, it provides the straightforward, reliable response that teachers and learners appreciate during busy rehearsals and timetable slots.

Built around a solid steel core, this string is designed for durability, stable pitch and a fast, even response across the register. It resists common changes in temperature and humidity, so your tuning holds and your sound stays consistent from room to room. Compared with basic Student 1 level strings, Prelude offers a more focused tone, cleaner articulation and stronger projection, helping pieces speak with less effort. The smooth surface aids comfortable shifting and controlled vibrato, while the medium tension strikes a sensible balance between ease of play and dynamic headroom.

Perfect for UK tuition and school use, the Prelude G string settles quickly and keeps its tuning, saving valuable lesson time. The medium tension suits typical classroom and peripatetic setups, and the robust construction stands up well to frequent practice and ensemble playing. With a straightforward ball end, fitting is simple on most tailpieces, so replacements are quick for teachers and technicians. Offering long service life and consistent value, it is a smart choice for parents, departments and learners preparing repertoire for graded exams, orchestra projects and everyday practice without the worry of unpredictable strings.
