Larsen StringsChromesteel Series Cello Strings A, Chromesteel, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single Larsen Chromesteel cello A string in medium gauge. For players replacing a worn or broken A rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing just the A when the rest of the set is fine
- Players who want a bright, focused top string
- Mixing string brands to balance a dark-sounding cello
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full four-string set at once
- Players wanting gut or synthetic-core warmth
- Fractional-size cellos
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
The standard tension choice. Balanced volume and response without the stiffness of heavy or the looseness of light.
Detail 03
A string only
One string, not a set. The A is the highest and usually the first to lose brightness.
Detail 04
Steel core
Very short break-in. Close to settled pitch within a day instead of a week.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one string. A full set means buying D, G and C separately.
- 02Confirm your cello is full size before ordering.
- 03Check whether your tailpiece uses fine tuners or ball-end loops.
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. This is the A string on its own. The D, G and C are sold separately.
02What size cello does it fit?
Full size. Fractional cellos need strings cut for their shorter scale.
03How long before it settles in tune?
Steel-core strings stabilize fast, usually within a day of playing and a few re-tunings.
04Can I mix this with a different brand on the other strings?
Yes, and players often do. Just expect a difference in tone and feel between the A and the strings below it.
