ThomastikSuperflexible 4/4 Size Cello Strings 4/4 Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Full four-string set for a 4/4 cello. For players re-stringing an entire instrument rather than replacing one dead string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-stringing a 4/4 cello where all four strings are worn out
- Setting up a used cello with unknown, mismatched strings
- Players who want all four strings matched as one set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 3/4 or smaller cellos — this is full size only
- Replacing a single broken string; buy that string on its own
- Violins, violas or basses
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
Cello scale length
Cut for a full-size cello. On a 3/4 instrument there'll be excess winding at the peg and poor seating.
Detail 03
$210.95 for the set
Cello strings cost several times violin strings. Budget for this as an annual or better expense, not a casual swap.
Detail 04
Thomastik Superflexible
A long-running line, so string gauges and behavior are consistent between purchases — useful once you know you like them.
Detail 05
Sold as a set, not individually here
If only your A has gone dead, a single string is cheaper. Full sets make sense when the whole instrument sounds tired.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Change one string at a time to keep the bridge and soundpost seated
- 02Check bridge and nut grooves for grit before fitting new strings
- 03Expect a few days of stretching and retuning before pitch settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 3/4 cello?
No. This set is cut for 4/4. A smaller cello needs strings made for its shorter scale.
02How many strings are included?
Four — a complete set for one cello. There's no need to buy the strings separately.
03How often should I replace cello strings?
Depends on playing hours. Most players change when the sound goes dull and the strings stop responding, often around once a year.
04Can I take all four strings off at once?
Better not to. Removing all four lets the soundpost shift or fall. Swap one string at a time so tension stays on the bridge.
