Monique Clare
"I play on Kaplan strings because they are reliable and feel good as soon as they go onto the instrument. They give me a neutral canvas that allows my cello to speak and gives me freedom to traverse multiple genres seamlessly."
Dana Leong
"I use D'addario Helicore strings for cello because they have the balance of a warm sound found by softer core strings along with the durability and bite of a metal wound string. It works great under all conditions whether played pizzicato, with a bow or through a fully heated amplifier!"
Tobias Werner
"I use Kaplan strings on my 1844 J.F. Pressenda cello. They provide the best qualities of a modern string: Durability, projection, ease of response, and variety in color."
Mike Block
"I love the warmth and clarity of this string - it works for all different types of music, and lets me express who I am! Thanks D'Addario!"

WHAT ARE CELLO STRINGS MADE OF?
Most cello strings fall into one of three categories: gut, synthetic, and steel. The earliest known orchestral strings were made from “gut,” or the small intestines of cows or sheep. Today, it’s more common for cello strings to be made from steel or a synthetic (often nylon) blend of fibers.
