A String Designed for Performance and Stability
Thanks to its flexible multi-strand core construction, this 4/4 C string aims for a balance between playing comfort, clear articulation, and vibration stability. The tungsten winding provides a rich and focused low register while maintaining good responsiveness.
Intended Use and Player Level
Suitable for cellists from advanced beginner to experienced levels, it works well for both pizzicato and arco playing. The choice of tension allows adjustment of finger resistance and power (soft) or bow pressure and projection (strong).
Sound Characteristics
On a C string, tungsten promotes a deep, carrying, and generally very clear low register. The flexible core enhances attack, smooth bow changes, and sound continuity, with a playing feel that is less "heavy" thanks to the low inertia.
