Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For the E-string position of a 4/4 cello in fourths tuning, this medium Helicore string brings a stranded steel core to the setup. The target tuning is E–A–D–G from low to high, matching the familiar bass note order that can help guitar and bass players make the move to cello. D'Addario describes quick bow response and a short settling time.
