Pro-Arté synthetic core cello strings have a warm, mellow tone. They are less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, and break in quickly. Pro-Arté strings are manufactured at a lower tension in order to maximize bow response, tonal blend, and playability. These cello strings are the perfect choice for players seeking a warm, dark tone.

Ordered as replacement for broken string in an original set. Took a week or so to settle in and now produces a better sound than the original. I have always sort of cringed at my playing the A string but now feel pretty good about the sound I’m hearing.

I ordered a single cello A string.. They sent me a G string. I requested a replacement, for the correct string.. and they sent me ANOTHER G STRING!!! Here’s a picture to see, that the difference in string sizes, are GLARINGLY hard to miss… not once, but TWICE?! That’s not an oversight. That’s careless.D’Addario cost me payment for a performance, because I trusted that they gave me the correct item. And STILL didn’t fix the issue, the SECOND TIME around.. Thoroughly disappointed.Take away: Never Trust D’Addario products to be as advertised. Y'all gotta do better.

I have a set of these for my cello and find them to be very nice. They are a big step up from the lower grade steel strings as they have a warmer and softer sound. They do take some break-in for the initial stretch and some getting used to. The diameter is a bit larger, so they are easier on your fingers. The A string tends to break easier, but you should keep a spare.

The D'Addario Pro-Arte strings sound pretty good for their price. They have a full and mellow tone that's much more pleasant and forgiving to inexperienced string players than other strings we've tried. They're a little more expensive than I'd like, but they sound so much better than all of the less-expensive options that I keep buying them. The only real complaint is that the thinner-gauge strings, such as the Cello A, and Viola A and D strings, tend to have somewhat short lives...typically around 4-6 months on my kids' instruments. I try to keep a couple of of those in their instrument cases because it seems like one always goes right before a concert. I usually replace the thicker C and G strings about once a year, as they start to get squeaky at that point.

These strings are much more responsive than my Larson strings. They seem to be about 25% louder and I can hear better the overtones in my cello. I have a very nice quality Cello, and it has been a little dull as far as sound color. These strings seem to have less mass so they vibrate more and continue to vibrate some after the bow has stopped. They do make my cello sound warmer than before and overall I like the strings. The strings stretch allot more than steel strings, so the fine tuners need about 2 to 3 times the amount of adjustment as compared to steel strings. I also notices a tinny guitar type of tone when playing.Next time I might try Dominates, to see how they fare. The price for these strings was very reasonable. I think if you have a very dull instrument, or a practice instrument, these strings should bring it back to life. If your instrument is already bright, then these strings may be overkill.The biggest drawback is that the C string is useless, it has such low tension that the string prefers to roll over instead of catching the bow. I might experiment and over tighten it, so it will stretch back to a C and possibly be useful. For now since I need to practice, I am putting back on my old C string.

I replaced the strings that came with the student cello I just ordered from Amazon. WOW!!! I can't believe the difference in the sound and for about 1/3 the price I would have paid for them in my local music store. Before ordering I asked a professional cellist if they were good and worth the price. He said "yes" on both counts, but I didn't expect them to make such a difference in the sound. I haven't even gotten the bridge and sound post prefessionally set yet and I haven't played a cello for 9 years and I sound good! Can I recommend these...YES, YES, YES!!

I got the A just to try and immediately took it back off. It was super twangy, gritty, and harsh sounding. Not sure if it's because it's nylon core (never tried one before) or because it's a cheap string. I guess I should have tried a more expensive one for the first one. But this is useless to me. I wouldn't even give it to a kid with a pressboard cello. It reminded me of kindergarten when we made guitars out of shoeboxes and rubber bands.

I usually like to play on Dominants, but I put a set of these on a student cello and they really made it sing compared to the steel strings that shipped with it. They warm up faster than other synthetic core strings, but you still need take your time breaking them in, and they should provide good sustain and rich overtones, especially for arco. They are not gut strings, but they are very flexible and they stay in tune really well, which makes them good for beginners and intermediate players who have to change venues frequently.

So I've been playing the cello for a long time now I'm guessing for three years, and I have got to say that these are so beautiful in such a way that's it's amazing that it is this cheap. The strings have the warmth and resonance of gut, but have the tuning stability of steel and synthetic strings. The bow response is absolutely beautiful, and the silk color code is unique. If you are looking for a professional grade string you have definitely got one. A great buy!UPDATE: After a month they go a bit false and lose their clearness and warmth.
