Product Description
Pro-Arte synthetic core cello strings have a warm, mellow tone. They are less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, and break in quickly. Pro-Arte strings are designed at a lower tension in order to maximize bow response, tonal blend and playability, making them exceptional for use in small ensemble settings. The 4/4 scale strings are gauged specifically for 4/4 size cello with a playing length of 27 1/2 inches (700mm). The J5903T tungsten wound G string has a smaller string diameter and slightly lower tension than the silver wound G, and will have easier bow response.

Customer Reviews
I usually like to play on Dominants, but I put a set of these on a student cello and they really made it sing compared to the steel strings that shipped with it. They warm up faster than other synthetic core strings, but you still need take your time breaking them in, and they should provide good sustain and rich overtones, especially for arco. They are not gut strings, but they are very flexible and they stay in tune really well, which makes them good for beginners and intermediate players who have to change venues frequently.
