Opal Gold Cello D String
Articulate midrange with quick, confident starts
Introduction
The Opal Gold D is the bridge between upper brilliance and lower power. Voiced for clarity and projection with an underlying warmth, it lets inner voices speak with definition in chamber, orchestral, and solo contexts.
Detailed characteristics
Like the A, the D uses a steel core with alloy winding, yielding a tone that is focused, organised, and colourful. Expect clear articulation, excellent responsiveness, and a balanced presence that supports both lyrical phrasing and rhythmic bite.
Playability & feel
Starts are instant, string crossings feel tidy, and the D retains centre under heavier bow pressure—useful for soaring lines or crisp spiccato. Left-hand feel is comfortably consistent with the A, promoting secure shifts and reliable intonation.
