Astrea Cello strings are great for beginners and students. They are a low-cost upgrade from factory supplied strings or good to have as a spare, for when you have to replace a string. Astrea cello strings are available as individual strings or can be ordered as a set of 4 strings (A, D, G, C). They come in two different sizes, one size fits 4/4 and 3/4 size instruments and the other fits 1/2 and 1/4 size cellos. Because of their steel core, they stay in tune very well and play in quite quickly. Making them ideal for beginner cellists.
The best cello rosin to use with Astrea cello strings is Hidersine 3C Cello rosin.
In summary, if you are a beginner or student cellist and have a cello fitted with factory strings these strings will be an upgrade. Other good upgrades to consider are D’Addario Prelude Cello Strings and Pirastro Piranito Cello Strings.
