Monique Clare
"I appreciate D'Addario's attitude in reducing their environmental impact and creating a community of artists rather than just a product. I trust the company because they take feedback and keep conversations open with their artists and customers."
Dana Leong
"I use D'Addario Helicore strings for cello because they have the balance of a warm sound found in softer core strings, along with the durability and bite of a metal wound string. Helicore works."
John Hanifin
“It's our job as strings players to find string that work for our instruments and unique styles - thanks to D'Addario my search has been narrowed down to one - Kaplan. No matter the approach I take to my cello, these strings have never ceased to amaze me in their quality consistency and durability. These strings truly bring each note to life.”
