Detail 01
Strong gauge
Higher tension than medium. More projection and bow resistance, but stiffer feel and more load on the top.

Larsen StringsSoloist Series Cello Strings D, Soloist, Strong
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single D string from Larsen's Soloist line in strong gauge, sized for cello. For players replacing a worn D or building a mixed set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cellists who break or wear out the D before the rest
- Building a custom mixed set across brands
- Players who want higher tension under the bow
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full set — this is one string
- Players who find strong-gauge tension stiff under the left hand
- Violinists, violists, bassists — 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
Single D string, not a set
You get one string. Pairing it with a different brand's A, G and C changes the balance across the instrument.
Detail 03
Soloist Series
Larsen's higher-tension line, voiced for projection over a room rather than blend in a section.
Detail 04
Cello scale
Length and tension are cut for cello. It will not work on any other bowed instrument.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — a full cello set needs A, D, G and C
- 02Mixing gauges across strings can leave the D louder than its neighbours
- 03New strings stretch for several days and need repeated retuning
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 alone. You would need to buy the A, G and C separately to make up a full set.
02What does 'strong' mean here?
Gauge and tension. Strong sits above medium, giving more volume and bow resistance at the cost of a stiffer feel under the fingers.
03Will this fit my cello?
It is cut for cello. Check your instrument's size, since string length is matched to scale.
04How often should I replace it?
Depends on playing hours. Replace when the tone dulls, tuning gets unstable, or the winding frays near the bridge or nut.
