JargarCello Strings D, Medium 4/4 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single medium-gauge D string for a full-size cello. For replacing a broken or worn D rather than buying a whole new set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one worn D without paying for a full set
- Full-size 4/4 cellos with standard string length
- Players who want middle tension, not either extreme
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fractional cellos — 3/4, 1/2 and smaller won't fit
- Players who want the extra push of heavy gauge
- Anyone re-stringing the whole instrument at once
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
Medium gauge
Middle tension. Easier under the fingers than heavy, with more push-back and body than light.
Detail 03
4/4 size
Cut for full-size string length. On a smaller cello the winding ends land in the wrong place.
Detail 04
Sold as a single string
Mixing ages or brands across strings changes how evenly the cello responds from one string to the next.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One D string only — no A, G or C in the package
- 02Measure your cello's string length; confirm it is full size
- 03New strings stretch, so expect frequent retuning for several days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of cello strings?
No. It is the D on its own. You'll need the A, G and C separately, or a set, if you're replacing everything.
02Will this fit a 3/4 cello?
No. It's cut for 4/4 string length. On a 3/4 the winding ends sit wrong at the nut and bridge.
03What does medium gauge mean in practice?
Middle tension. It takes less finger pressure and less bow weight than heavy gauge, but gives more resistance and volume than light.
04How often should a D string be replaced?
When it stops holding pitch, sounds dull, or the winding starts fraying where you stop it. Heavy practice hours shorten that considerably.
