Larsen StringsChromesteel Series Cello Strings C, Tungsten, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single medium-gauge C string for cello, tungsten-wound on the Chromesteel design. A replacement string, not a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn or dead C without rebuying a whole set
- Players who want more focus and clarity in the bottom register
- Mixing a preferred C into an otherwise different string set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete set — this is one string only
- Players wanting a broad, diffuse low end rather than a focused one
- Budget restringing, given the per-string cost
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
Tungsten winding
Tungsten is dense, so the string can be thinner at the same pitch. Quicker bow response and clearer low notes.
Detail 03
Medium gauge
Standard tension for most cellos. Balanced feel under the bow without the stiffness of a heavy gauge.
Detail 04
Chromesteel series
Steel-based core. Tunes up fast, holds pitch well, and gives a direct rather than diffuse sound.
Detail 05
$112.50 for one string
C strings are the most expensive in a set. Wound tungsten construction is the reason.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one C string — the G, D and A are sold separately
- 02Change one string at a time to keep the bridge and soundpost seated
- 03Check the bridge groove is wide enough and smooth before fitting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full cello set?
No. This is the C string alone. The other three strings are separate purchases.
02Why is tungsten used on the C?
Tungsten is very dense, so the string reaches low C at a smaller diameter. That means faster bow response and less mud.
03What size cello does this fit?
Fit depends on your instrument's string length. Check that this string matches your cello's size before ordering.
04Will this match my existing strings?
It will work alongside other strings, though tension and tone balance are most even when the set is from one series.
