Luthier’s opinion on the D’Addario Prelude for cello

The Prelude is a beginner’s string set that is easy to play and easy to learn because of its durability and precise sound. They are also an economical choice due to their affordable price. It is thanks to their pure steel core and the nickel wound used for their winding that they have such a long life.

Although available in sizes from whole (4/4) to eighth (1/8), which is quite rare, they are only available in medium tension. On the other hand, this is not really a problem since it is the most likely choice for a beginner’s instrument, whether it is modern or antique.

I recommend them to young and beginner musicians who have a limited budget but would like to enjoy a reliable product that will accompany them for a long time in the learning of their instrument.

Countries outside the European Union may apply a customs tax. Additional charges may apply depending on the content of the package. Please do not hesitate to contact me or the customs office in your country if you have any questions or concerns.

Deliveries for strings and accessories that measure under 3 cm are made in registered mail format and are therefore sent by the French Post Office. This applies both to national and international deliveries. This is a simple and efficient way to have your order shipped to you directly.

For larger accessories and instruments, I use the Chronopost or TNT solutions. A tracked shipment can either be delivered directly to your home or to a pick-up location, depending on your preference, which you will be asked to specify at checkout.

I generally ship orders between 1 and 4 working days. However, in exceptional circumstances, such as when travelling, I may not be able to meet these deadlines. In this case I will inform you as soon as possible.
