D'Addario Prelude Violin Strings, J810 4/4M, Medium Tension, 4/4 Scale, 4-String Full Set

Amazing set of strings. Great sound for a reasonable price!

Nothing bad just what you want imo. Good quality considering the price! ✌️✌️

As a parent of a cello student, I wanted to find strings that offer great sound quality, durability, and value. The D’Addario Prelude Cello String Set (4/4 scale, medium tension) is perfect for beginners and intermediate players alike. The solid steel core ensures tuning stability and a smooth playing experience, while the warm tone these strings produce helps students develop a rich, full sound without harshness. The medium tension strikes a great balance between ease of play and tonal quality. I also appreciate that they come in a sealed pouch to prevent corrosion, which keeps the strings fresh and extends their lifespan. These strings handle frequent practice sessions well and are very economical for families and educators. If you’re looking for reliable, student-friendly cello strings that won’t compromise on sound, D’Addario Prelude is an excellent choice.

I thought these had a good sound. The new brand I tried is louder but these gave a rich sound on my violin. Plus the price for these is nearly half.

Our go-to strings for the entire family of musicians. Highly recommend!

See below for my background, but I'm putting the important points up top: these strings have really good projection and very bright, clear tone with easy action. Suggested use cases: Beginners, bluegrass, folk, country, and they'll probably sound good on an electric violin (Only have the one set, so I can't test them on my e-fiddle!). They'll be fine in a student or community orchestra as well. Just make sure you're in tune. They're extremely easy to put on provided your violin has a ball end chin rest. Most student violins, especially those with a Whitmer tailgut will be of the ball end variety. Bottom line: excellent value for money, very clear tone, the open strings really 'ring' out beautifully. I've been playing fiddle for about six or seven months now, but I've been a musician literally all my life. I received a used instrument that had, at the time, year old Dominant strings on it that I purchased these to replace. It's taken me this long to actually do the deed because I was frankly uneasy about changing the strings. I had a Chinese VSO (violin-shaped object) before this that literally fell apart when I tried to take one string off, but as long as you have a good quality instrument and only change one string at a time, you'll be fine(mine was a VSO from, like, 1995, literally made of plywood with the sound post glued in place!) The difference between these and Dominant strings, besides the price (Dominants retailing at about $50) is mostly in the tone coloration. These strings are very clear and bright, which some people might describe as "nasally" or "thin". If you have a violin that's already very muddy and dark sounding (the opposite direction from bright/clear) you'll get a good balance from these. But even if you don't, chances are you'll be fine with these strings. If they do sound too shrill for you, you might be able to have your luthier make adjustments to your violin. If you don't have a luthier, get a luthier. Buy them a round or two, or bake them some brownies, whatever you have to do to get into their good graces. You'll thank me when your violin comes unglued (No, really. This is a thing that happens, and it's an easy fix for a qualified luthier/technician)

Preludes offer a velvety playing experience. Unlike other budget brands in the same price range, the tone is not harsh and is, for the price, a good choice from beginner up to intermediate

Only for my violin

First of all I am a beginner so I can't compare it only to the strings that my rental violin came with. These strings were actually an upgrade, sound and feel pretty good and I can make them sing a little bit easier which was the goal. Now I'm sure there's better ones out there but if you're a beginner and unsure what to buy feel free to get them I think they are a good basic set of strings. Good price. Strings are quite stable, keeping tune well. I tune daily because I'm taught to but especially the A has been rock solid I think I didn't have to tune it in a week and I am checking it against tuner. These strings seem to be quite even in tone and response, working well together. I did change the E just to experiment as it's the string I have most problems with (it's due to my lack of skill not the string at this point), but unless you're a more advanced player this string set is probably good for years. I would only recommend to upgrade from these if you can really, actually, honestly hear and feel a significant difference and don't mind experimenting; you're either a professional, or don't mind spending just to experiment. If you have doubts whether this string set is good or not but it's not easy to spend 50-60 euro for a better one, first give your instrument to a better player have them try and then decide. :)
