The Opal Gold Twin X-core.
Opal Gold cello strings feature an innovative Twin X-core design, delivering a warm sound with a wide range of overtones, giving players the freedom to create their own sound.
With fast reaction, clear articulation, and powerful volume, they support consistent performance.
Developed Through Research
Opal Gold cello strings are the result of extensive research, investment in technology, and collaboration with highly sensitive players across multidisciplinary teams.
Twin X-Core Construction
The G and C strings feature two steel cores wrapped in opposite directions, providing strength and flexibility while creating the feeling of lower tension despite higher actual tension.
This results in a clear, brilliant sound with the warmth of gut, balanced with the A and D strings for a cohesive set.
