Detail 01
Single D string, not a set
You get one string. Matching the rest of your set matters for even response across strings.

Larsen StringsChromesteel Series Cello Strings D, Chromesteel, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single medium-gauge D string for cello from Larsen's Chromesteel line. For players replacing one worn string rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead or false D without changing the whole set
- Cellists already running Chromesteel strings on other positions
- Keeping a spare D in the case for breakages
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a complete set — this is the D only
- Anyone wanting gut or synthetic-core warmth
- Violin, viola or bass players — cello scale only
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
Standard tension for most cellos. Heavier gauges push more but load the top plate harder.
Detail 03
Chromesteel
Steel-based construction, so it settles into pitch faster and holds tuning better than gut.
Detail 04
Sold per string at this price
Full set cost is roughly four strings' worth, so budget accordingly if all four are worn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your cello is full size before ordering — sizing is not interchangeable
- 02Only the D string is included; A, G and C sold separately
- 03Check your tailpiece end fitting matches before removing the old string
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 D string only. The A, G and C are separate purchases.
02How long does it take to settle in?
Steel-based strings stabilize quickly compared to gut, but expect to retune several times over the first day or two of playing.
03Can I mix this with other brands on my cello?
Yes, players commonly mix. Response and volume may not match perfectly across strings, so listen for balance after fitting.
04Will this fit a 3/4 cello?
It is sized for full-size cello. Fractional instruments need strings cut to their scale length.
