Why do cellists often mix string brands?
Many cellists use a mix of different core technologies among the four strings to produce a style of playing popular with today's professional cellists. To accomplish this particular sound, players select a mix of solid steel core strings and stranded steel core strings. Solid steel core strings tend to perform better for A and D strings, while stranded core strings fare well for C and G strings. Many string companies construct their cello sets with only one type of core technology, which leads many cellists to select multiple brands of strings for their setup. Some string sets–such as our Kaplan cello set–feature a combination of both solid and stranded steel cores, allowing for the same experience of the popular solid/stranded core mix without having to purchase single strings.
Helicore strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, resulting in optimal playability while producing a clear, warm tone. The smaller string diameter provides quick bow response. Premium quality materials combined with skilled workmanship produce strings known for excellent pitch stability and longevity.

A stranded steel core contains steel wires braided together to produce a cable core, blending strength and flexibility together. Tonally, it provides a balance of clarity and complexity for versatility with great bow response.
