Cello Strings

Our range of Cello strings is made up of over 600+ different strings and sets of strings, made by Astrea, D’Addario, Jargar, Larsen, Pirastro, Prim, Thomastik and Warchal.

We are happy to advise you to help you choose the correct strings for your cello and we offer a string fitting service at our Derby store and workshop. We can usually fit your new strings while you wait.

We stock all sizes of strings from full-size down to 1/10 size and all of the intermediate sizes in between.

Our strings are available to buy as sets or as single strings. Buying single strings allows you to mix and match strings to make your own custom string sets or combinations.

The Cello’s highest pitched and thinnest gauge string is the A string. The A string is furthest to the right of the cello when looking at the front of the cello. The next string in from the right is the D string followed by the G string. the C string is the thickest gauge and lowest-pitched string on the cello furthest to the left of the cello when looking at the front of the cello.

There are also High E and Low F cello strings available. Fitting a high E will give your cello an extended higher range with GDAE tuning. A low F string extends the lower range of the cello giving FCGD tuning.

You can use our handy filter options below to narrow down your choice, by size, string/set and tension.
