The Korena take
This medium-gauge D string is for a 4/4 cello arranged in fourths tuning. Its stranded steel core is paired with quick bow response and a short settling period. The intended E–A–D–G tuning, low to high, follows the same note order used for bass, so bass and guitar players can approach the cello with a familiar layout.
