ThomastikSuperflexible 4/4 Size Cello Strings 4/4 A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single A string for full-size cello, sold on its own rather than as a set. For replacing a broken or worn top string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped A without buying a whole set
- Full-size 4/4 cellos only
- Players who wear out the top string faster than the rest
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete restring — this is one string
- 3/4, 1/2 or smaller student cellos
- Upright bass or violin players
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 sizing
Cut for a full-size cello. On a smaller body the winding hits the peg or pin wrong.
Detail 03
A string position
Highest of the four. Carries most melodic playing, so it takes the most bow wear.
Detail 04
Thomastik Superflexible line
Mixing it with other brands on the remaining three strings gives uneven tension and response across the set.
Detail 05
Per-string price
Buying the four singles individually costs more than the matched set. Worth checking before a full restring.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your cello is 4/4 — measure the back length before ordering
- 02One string only; no set, no rosin, no tools included
- 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 A string alone. The D, G and C are sold separately.
02Will it fit a 3/4 cello?
No. It's cut for a 4/4 instrument. A 3/4 cello needs the 3/4 version of the string.
03How long does it take to settle in?
Expect frequent retuning for the first few days of playing while the string finishes stretching.
04Can I mix this with a different brand on the other strings?
You can, but tension and feel will differ string to string. Matching the whole set keeps the response even.
