D'AddarioPrelude Cello String Set 3/4 Size
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A complete set of Prelude strings for a 3/4 cello. For students and parents replacing worn or broken strings on a fractional-size instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students on a 3/4 cello due for a full string change
- Parents restringing a rental or hand-me-down instrument
- Teachers keeping a spare set on hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players on 4/4, 1/2 or 1/4 cellos — wrong length
- Anyone needing only one broken string replaced
- Violin or viola players — cello scale only
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
Full set, all four strings
You change everything at once, so tension and feel match across strings instead of one new string standing out.
Detail 03
Sold as a matched set
Cheaper per string than buying four singles, and you keep a consistent replacement schedule.
Detail 04
$71.99 for four
Roughly $18 a string, so a full change is a planned purchase rather than an impulse one.
Detail 05
D'Addario Prelude line
Buying the same line again later means replacements behave the same, with no guesswork about how the instrument responds.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No tools, pegs, tailpiece or rosin included — strings only
- 02Change one string at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay seated
- 03New strings stretch; expect frequent retuning for several days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 4/4 cello?
No. These are cut for a 3/4 instrument. On a 4/4 cello they will be too short to string properly and hold pitch.
02How many strings come in the set?
All four — A, D, G and C for a 3/4 cello.
03Can I change the strings myself?
Yes, if you replace one at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay in place. Take the whole set off at once and the bridge can fall.
04How long until they stay in tune?
Plan on several days of daily retuning while they stretch. After that they hold pitch normally.
