Review: منتج رائع - منتج رائع Sadik music the best 👍🏻 Review: Good upgrade for a cheap cello - Added these to an old cheap cello for my daughter. It did improve the sound and she said they were easier to play than the strings that came on it. I found these strings recommended on a couple sites as A&D replacements. I just ordered all 4 as a set and they all sound nice. ## Features - APPEALING TONE: the best-sounding steel core string available - UNBEATABLE RELISIENCE: engineered for unparalleled longevity and durability - PROFESSIONAL PLAYABILITY: balanced tension for a comfortable feel - UNIVERSAL APPLICATION: classical, fiddle, jazz, and alternative styles - INDUSTRY STANDARD DESIGN: Prelude is the world's best-selling steel core string ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002D0O42 | | Body Material Type | Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | uncoated | | Coating description | uncoated | | Color | Red | | Colour | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,018 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polierten | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954172015, 00019954952501 | | Included Components | Cello Strings (4 pieces) | | Instrument | Cello | | Item Type Name | Cello Strings | | Item Weight | 73 g | | Manufacturer | D'Addario & Co. | | Manufacturer Part Number | J1010 3/4M | | Material Type | Steel | | Model Name | Prelude 3/4M | | Model Number | J1010 3/4M | | Recommended Uses For Product | Cello | | Set Name | Prelude | | Sound Profile | Balanced | | String Gauge | Medium | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | String gauge | Medium | | String material type | Alloy Steel | | UPC | 019954172015 019954952501 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Replace if Defective | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Red - **Instrument:** Cello - **String gauge:** Medium - **String material type:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![D'Addario Prelude Cello String Set, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LaauHgU3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ منتج رائع *by S***N on 22 November 2025* منتج رائع Sadik music the best 👍🏻 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good upgrade for a cheap cello *by J***N on 14 July 2017* Added these to an old cheap cello for my daughter.

I was always a strong advocate of D'Addario Helicore string sets for all my fractional student cellos but gave these a try for a 1/8th cello I own. I especially liked the price for these since the cello itself is only a couple hundred. I was very impressed with how much I liked these strings on the cello. Perfect way to upgrade the lower models of Cecilio cellos and greatly improve the sound over the cheap strings that come on the cello. I will definitely be considering these more in the future for my students. Priced not too much more than Red Label strings for a set, but with the D'Addario quality and sound I've loved with the Helicore strings. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Prelude Cello String Set, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension - D'Addario J810 4/4M Prelude Violin String Set, 4/4 Scale, Medium Tension - D'Addario Natural Rosin, Light --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/391811502-daddario-prelude-cello-string-set-3-4-scale-medium-tension](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/391811502-daddario-prelude-cello-string-set-3-4-scale-medium-tension) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-02*
