D'Addario H514 4/4H C 4/4 Struna za violončela

Helicore Cello C String — Clear, Warm Tone for the Full-Size Cello

The D'Addario Helicore Cello Single C String, 4/4 Scale, Heavy Tension is a single replacement string built for full-size cellists who want a focused, responsive low C without the bulk of a traditional gut or solid-core steel string. Helicore cello strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, which keeps the diameter slim while still producing a clear, warm tone that sits well in a chamber or orchestral blend. The smaller string diameter gives the bow a quick, articulate response, so the C speaks cleanly on fast passagework and on sustained legato lines alike.

This particular variant is the heavy tension option in the 4/4 line, scaled to fit a cello with a playing length of 27 1/2 inches (700 mm). The C string is tungsten/silver wound over the stranded steel core, and D'Addario tunes the tension options to the needs of a majority of players, so heavy tension is a sensible choice for cellists who want a firmer feel under the left hand and a more resistant response from the bow. Premium materials and skilled workmanship give these strings excellent pitch stability and longevity, and every D'Addario string is designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA to the company's most stringent quality controls.

Who It's For — Cellists Who Want a Responsive Heavy C

The Helicore 4/4 Heavy C is the right choice for cellists who need a low C with a firmer tension and a slim, responsive feel under the bow. Heavy tension suits players who prefer a more resistant string for stronger bow strokes, for projecting in larger acoustic spaces, or for balancing against lighter Helicore A, D and G strings on the same instrument. The stranded steel core and tungsten/silver winding make this string a good match for advancing students, serious amateurs and working professionals who play a wide range of repertoire from solo Bach to Romantic concertos and contemporary chamber works.

Because it is sold as a single replacement string rather than a full set, it is also ideal for cellists who already run Helicore strings on the upper three and only need to refresh the C, or for players moving from another brand who want to try the Helicore feel on the most demanding string of the cello first. The ball end fits standard cello tailpieces, and the 700 mm playing length matches any standard 4/4-size cello. As with all D'Addario orchestral strings, it is engineered and manufactured in the USA to the company's strict quality controls.
