Opal Gold Cello String Set (A–D–G–C)
Twin X-core innovation where warmth meets brilliance—balanced across all four strings
Introduction
The Opal Gold set is engineered to eliminate the need for mix-and-match combinations. It offers a perfectly balanced response across the instrument: warm, overtone-rich colour with the clarity, projection, and tuning stability of steel—fast reaction, clear articulation, and powerful volume right out of the package.
What’s inside & how it sounds
A & D: Steel cores, alloy windings for a clear, singing top and articulate midrange that speak immediately and settle quickly.
G & C: Steel twin X-cores wound with tungsten for a resonant, projecting low end that feels supple under the fingers despite higher measured tension—thanks to the twin-core, opposing-wrap construction.
Together they form a coherent, solo-capable voice that projects in the hall and blends gracefully in chamber and orchestral work.
Playability & feel
Expect quick bow starts, a wide dynamic range, and stable intonation throughout long rehearsals. The lower strings accept substantial bow weight without choking, while the upper strings sing cleanly in high positions. Break-in is brief, and the tonal palette is broad enough to cover Baroque clarity, Romantic warmth, and contemporary edge.
