Description
D’Addario Helicore cello strings have a small diameter and are made on a braided wire core. They offer a warm, rich sound that’s remarkably similar to gut or synthetic core strings. Unlike gut, however, their all-metal construction renders them impervious to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Helicore strings have a multi-strand high-carbon steel core that produces flexible response and range. The core is overlaid with exotic alloy windings that provide extremely quick bow response and outstanding projection. The end result is a versatile string with very long playing life that is extremely stable under all playing conditions. These cello strings offer the musician an even, focused sound with warmth and projection. Helicore cello strings are popular with many musicians for their quick response and articulation.
Tone: Warmest of steel strings
Playability: Responsive and articulate
Stability: Virtually resistant to climate and temperature change

I love Helicore for my low strings, G and C, they are warm and just the right amount of beefy grit. I played 2 shows on them last night and they started surprisingly well in tune, even on a cold stage! I am a little concerned about the responsiveness of my C string, as I was hearing overtones but it could have been a fluke or perhaps it just needs to be broken in a little more.

I purchased it for a student. Normally I would spend more but the string is probably better than the cello!!

These are the strings that sound great with my cello. I am trying D’Addario A and D for the first time but in some weather my cello can be finicky. Time will tell if this is a good match.
