Detail 01
4/4 size
Full-size cello only. Fractional instruments have shorter string lengths and a 4/4 set will not seat correctly.

ThomastikDominant 4/4 Size Cello Strings 4/4 Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Full set of 4/4 cello strings from Thomastik's Dominant line. For players replacing a worn or mismatched set on a full-size cello.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-size cello needing all four strings replaced at once
- Players consolidating a mismatched set onto one matched set
- Students moving up from a factory-fitted string set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fractional cellos — 3/4, 1/2 and smaller need their own sizes
- Anyone needing a single replacement string; this is a full set
- 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.

Complete 4-string set
A, D, G and C in one package. Matched tension across the set, so response feels even string to string.
Detail 03
$330.95 for the set
Cello strings run expensive. Buying the set costs less than four singles and keeps the tension balanced.
Detail 04
Dominant line
Thomastik's long-running orchestral string family, aimed at general playing rather than a specialist solo or gut sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Change one string at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay under tension
- 02Check bridge position after fitting; it tends to lean forward as strings are tuned
- 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.
01Will these fit a 3/4 cello?
No. This set is cut for 4/4 scale length. A 3/4 cello needs strings made for that size or they will not tune correctly.
02Can I buy just the A string?
This listing is the complete four-string set. Single strings are sold separately.
03How long do cello strings last?
It depends on hours played. Regular players typically replace them every six to twelve months, once tone goes dull and tuning gets unstable.
04Should I change all four strings at once?
Fit them one at a time. Removing all four at once drops tension on the bridge and can let the soundpost fall inside the body.
