Detail 01
Tungsten winding
Tungsten is dense, so the string can stay thinner for the same pitch. Faster response under the bow.

ThomastikSpirocore 4/4 Size Cello Strings 4/4 G String, Tungsten
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single tungsten-wound G string for full-size cello, sold on its own. For players replacing one broken or worn G rather than buying a whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead or broken G on a 4/4 cello
- Cellists who wear out the low strings faster than the top
- Keeping a spare G in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a complete set — this is one string
- Cellos smaller than 4/4; the scale won't match
- Anyone wanting the cheapest possible restring
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
4/4 size
Cut for full-size cello string length. On a 3/4 or 7/8 the winding will sit wrong at the nut or tailpiece.
Detail 03
G string only
The second-lowest string. You get one string, not the C-G-D-A set.
Detail 04
Price per single string
At this price a full set runs several times higher. Budget accordingly if all four are due.
Detail 05
Spirocore line
Stay within one line across the set if you can — mixed lines can leave one string louder or slower than its neighbours.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — no set, no accessories
- 02Confirm your cello is 4/4 before ordering
- 03A new string will stretch and drop pitch for several days
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 G string alone. The C, D and A are sold separately.
02Will it fit a 3/4 cello?
It is made for 4/4. On a smaller instrument the string length and winding placement won't line up correctly.
03Why is one string this expensive?
Tungsten is a costly metal and the winding is precise. Single low strings on cello generally cost more than the upper ones.
04How long until it holds pitch?
Expect frequent retuning for the first few days while the string settles. It stabilises after that.
