Detail 01
Built for electric cello
Voiced for a pickup rather than a resonating body. On an acoustic cello they won't drive the top properly.

D'AddarioNS510 NS Electric Cello Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A full replacement string set for electric cello. For players whose factory set has gone dull or dead.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn factory set on an electric cello
- Players who want even response and output string to string
- Amplified playing where consistent signal matters more than acoustic bloom
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic cello, which needs strings built for a soundbox
- Anyone who only needs one string replaced
- Players expecting a low-cost set, given the price
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold as a full set
You get every string at once. Cheaper per string than singles, but wasteful if only one has died.
Detail 03
NS series
Matched to NS-style electric cellos. Confirm your instrument's scale length and string count before ordering.
Detail 04
Around $140 a set
Restringing is a real expense here, so change on a schedule rather than at the first sign of dullness.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your instrument's string count and scale length against the set before ordering.
- 02Change one string at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay seated.
- 03Fine tuners and a peg or planetary system make seating these far easier.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these work on an acoustic cello?
They're built for electric cello. An acoustic cello relies on the strings driving the top, and these aren't designed for that job.
02Is this a complete set?
Yes, it's a full set rather than a single string. If only one string has failed, a single replacement is the cheaper route.
03How often should I replace them?
When the tone goes dull, response gets uneven, or the winding starts fraying under the bow. Heavy players get through sets faster.
04Do I need to change all four at once?
You can, but do it one string at a time. Removing them all together lets the bridge shift and the soundpost move.
