Cello strings

Click here to see our selection of Cello strings.

All stringed instruments will need to have the strings replaced occasionally. Cello strings have a thicker gauge than viola or violin strings. They are typically made from nickel cores wrapped in nylon or cat gut.

Each string on the cello is a different diameter. Replace the cello strings one at a time to prevent the bridge and sound post from collapsing. The strings should be put on a few days before a performance because it takes them a few days to stretch.

This means that the cello strings will need to be retuned frequently after the new strings have been put on. Caring for the strings will help prolong their life. Wipe the rosin from the strings with a soft cloth after every use, rosin build-up can affect the tone of the strings.
