StringsThere are a lot of different strings available:
I used to have Jargar strings on my cello. They are very stable strings but they didn't produce a lot of sound on the G en C string. So I decided to switch. I bought Velvet strings. They have a silk core and resemble gut strings. This means you have to tune them an awfull lot. For a beginning cellist this can be really frustrating and sometimes scary (because they make a tinging sound when you tune them). But it is well worth it. They have a great mellow sound on my cello and sound a lot stronger than the Jargar. But: this can be very different on a different cello. All cello's respond different to strings. So if you have to make a choice: you have to try them. Other strings which I like are the Evah
Pirazzi strings from Pirastro. They have a bright sound. |
