Detail 01
3/4 size
Cut for a 3/4 cello's shorter string length. On a 4/4 the winding lands wrong at the peg and nut.

ThomastikDominant 3/4 Size Cello Strings 3/4 A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 3/4-size Dominant A string for cello. Buy it to replace one broken or dead string, not to restring the whole instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped or worn A on a 3/4 cello
- Students whose set is fine except one dull string
- Keeping a spare A in the case for lessons and recitals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full restring — this is one string
- Full-size 4/4 cellos, where the string length is wrong
- Players wanting the brightness and projection of steel-core strings
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
A string only
Highest string on the cello. You get one string, not a set of four.
Detail 03
Dominant construction
Warmer and less edgy than steel strings, with more give under the bow than plain gut.
Detail 04
Synthetic core
Holds pitch far better than gut through room temperature and humidity swings.
Detail 05
$55.60 for one string
Cello strings cost several times violin strings. A full set runs well past $200.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — the D, G and C are sold separately
- 02New strings stretch; expect several days of retuning before pitch settles
- 03A brand-new A next to three worn strings will sound mismatched
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set or just one string?
One string — the A. The D, G and C are separate purchases.
02Will this fit a 4/4 cello?
No. It's cut for a 3/4 instrument's string length. A 4/4 needs the full-size version.
03How long until it stays in tune?
Synthetic-core strings stretch for a few days. Tune it several times a day at first, then it settles.
04Should I replace all four strings at once?
If the others are also worn, yes — a single new string will stand out against three old ones.
