Opal Gold Cello A String
Singing clarity, steel-core stability, immediate response
Introduction
The Opal Gold cello A string sets the lyrical top of the set with a clear, focused voice that still retains warmth—ideal for cantabile lines, high-position work, and any solo passage that must speak right away. It’s voiced to complement Opal’s twin X-core lower strings, giving you a balanced, unified setup.
Detailed characteristics
Built on a steel core with a precision alloy winding, the A produces a tone that is clean, bright, and stable without stridency. Expect fast reaction and clear articulation with rich overtones that help the sound carry in larger rooms while remaining refined at close range. Break-in is minimal, and the pitch settles quickly.
Playability & feel
The A speaks instantly under the bow from pp to ff, handles assertive bow weight without breaking up, and stays centred for accurate intonation in shifting, vibrato, and ornaments. Players also appreciate the consistent left-hand feel and reliable tuning across long rehearsals and performances.
