D'AddarioPrelude Series Cello G String 3/4 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single G string for 3/4 cello, steel core with nickel winding. Replacement for a student instrument when one string goes dead or breaks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken or dull G on a 3/4 student cello
- School rental and program instruments needing cheap upkeep
- Keeping a spare G in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting warmth and complexity from a synthetic or gut core
- Anyone needing a full set — this is one string
- Full-size 4/4 cellos, and 1/2 or smaller
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
G string, sold singly
You get one string only. Buying singly makes sense for a breakage, not for a full restring.
Detail 03
Prelude series
D'Addario's student line — durable and stable, tuned for reliability and price over tonal depth.
Detail 04
Steel core
Holds pitch quickly and survives humidity swings and student handling. Brighter and more direct than synthetic core.
Detail 05
$22.50
Entry-level pricing. A full set of four at this tier runs well under most single strings from premium lines.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — no set, no case, no accessories
- 02Confirm your cello is 3/4, not 4/4 — sizes are not interchangeable
- 03Mixing one new string with three old ones gives uneven tone
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 4/4 cello?
No. This is cut for 3/4 scale. A 4/4 cello needs a 4/4 G string; the shorter one won't seat correctly or hold pitch.
02Is this a full set of cello strings?
No, it is the G string alone. For a complete restring you need A, D, G and C, sold separately or as a set.
03How long before it settles in tune?
Steel core strings stretch in fast — usually stable within a day of retuning a few times, quicker than synthetic core strings.
04Should I replace all four strings at once?
If the others are also old, yes. A single fresh string next to three worn ones will sound noticeably brighter and louder.
