Description
Dial in a clear, warm, and focused A string that responds instantly under the bow.

Scaled for full-size cellos with a 27.5″ (700 mm) playing length, this heavy-tension A adds extra punch and projection while retaining the signature Helicore warmth—a favorite for orchestra, chamber, solo, and alternative styles.
