D'AddarioPrelude Series Cello G String 4/4 Size Medium
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single G string for 4/4 cello, medium gauge. For students and teachers replacing one broken or worn string rather than a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a single broken G without buying a whole set
- Student cellos and school instrument maintenance
- Keeping a spare G in the case for rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a full restring — this is one string only
- Fractional-size cellos (3/4, 1/2 and smaller)
- Anyone wanting a different tension than medium
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
4/4 size
Full-size cello scale. A 3/4 or smaller instrument needs the matching shorter string.
Detail 03
Medium gauge
Standard tension. Mixing gauges across a set can make string-to-string response feel uneven.
Detail 04
Prelude series
Student-line string built for durability and tuning stability rather than maximum tonal complexity.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — not a set, no rosin, bridge, or tools included
- 02Confirm your cello is 4/4; fractional sizes need different lengths
- 03New strings stretch and go flat for the first few days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will one new string sound different from my old ones?
Likely yes. A fresh string is brighter and louder than worn neighbors until it breaks in over a week or so.
02Does this fit a 3/4 cello?
No. This is cut for 4/4 scale length. Use the size that matches your instrument.
03How often should a cello G be replaced?
Replace when it sounds dull, false, or the winding frays. Heavy daily players change strings far more often than casual ones.
04Can I mix this with other brands on my cello?
You can, but tension and feel will vary between strings. Matching a full set gives more even response across the instrument.
