Save $20 versus buying G and C separately
Why buy as a pair
Three reasons to take both lower strings together.
Tonal coherence
Both strings share the same Spirocore Tungsten construction. Buying them together ensures the G and C project and respond in a matched, consistent way.
Better price per string
The pair is $20 less than buying the G and C individually at the same Thomastik-Infeld quality.
Uniform settle-in
Replacing both lower strings at the same time means they break in together. The lower register settles uniformly, making the transition to your chosen upper strings smoother.
About Spirocore Tungsten
The iconic lower-string choice for maximum clarity and projection.
Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore Tungsten is one of the most recognisable lower-string options in professional cello playing. The flexible spiral rope steel core and tungsten outer winding produce a tone that is brilliant, focused, and powerful, yet still musical and warm enough for ensemble contexts.
The Spirocore G and C are frequently used as part of a hybrid setup, paired with another brand's A and D to achieve a custom tonal balance. This two-string set gives you the complete Spirocore lower-register package at a saving over buying them individually. SKU T/S3233.

What each string brings.
G · Spiral Rope Steel / Tungsten · 14.0 kg

C · Spiral Rope Steel / Tungsten · 13.5 kg
Deep, resonant bass
Spiral rope steel core with tungsten winding. A deep, resonant C with clean articulation and strong pizzicato sustain. 13.5 kg tension. Ball end (brass). SKU T/S33.
Playability
Instant response, cuts through any texture.
The Spirocore pair speaks instantly, cuts through dense ensemble textures, and tolerates assertive bow weight without losing centre. Break-in is short, and the feel remains supple and predictable. Fast passages and register shifts feel effortless.
The pair is well-suited to concertos, recitals, and principal orchestral roles where projection and clarity in the lower register are essential. Their bright, focused character also makes them popular for jazz and contemporary cello playing.

Frequently asked
Spirocore G+C pair, in short.
What is included in this set?
The pair includes the G string (T/S32) and the C string (T/S33) in Tungsten Medium. This is a two-string lower-string set, not a complete four-string set. SKU T/S3233.
Why does this set not include A and D strings?
The Spirocore Tungsten G and C are designed and sold as lower-string options. Many players use them as part of a hybrid setup, choosing a different brand's A and D that better suits their instrument's upper register. There is no Spirocore A and D available in this product range.
What A and D strings pair well with Spirocore G and C?
This depends on the instrument and the player's tonal preference. Common pairings include Jargar, Larsen Original, or other steel-core strings on the A and D. Email us at info@symphoniamusic.co.nz if you would like a recommendation for your specific instrument.
How long do Spirocore Tungsten strings last?
Spirocore strings are known for their durability and are often reported to outlast many other string types at a professional level. Replace when the tone becomes dull or the pitch is unreliable.
Are these genuine Thomastik-Infeld strings?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore through the official supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, we arrange the replacement directly.
