"As a new cellist, you will have to change them once, twice, four times a year."
Come on. This is obviously the salesman in you. Especially for a beginner, 4 times a year is simply preposterous. I've been using high-quality Larsens for a couple years and I am just changing them now with moderate playing use. Anyone that tells you to change more than once a year or even once every 18 months as a beginner is just trying to scam you; unless they are cheap strings or you play many hours a day.
Hi! I am a 3rd grade cellist and my teacher lets us take our instrument home if we want. I did because my concert is in like, a week and I really needed practice on a song. As I was tuning, my strings literally CAME OFF so this was helpful. Hopefully my strings will all come back to Lulabelle, my cello, and I'll be able to keep practicing! I'm pretty sure I've reached the class limit because this happens a lot, and this is my first successful video!
Hehe I am a 6th grade cello player whose bridge fell down 3 times in the last ten minutes. I really needed this because my D string was not tightening. I looked and It was unwound. Thank You!
Same but i am a 7th grader (online school)

Excellent video! One thought - You need to change a string when 1) it breaks or... 2) does not sound up to your standards. This is why I change my A and D strings every 2 - 3 months and G and C every 9 - 12 months. However, I had good students who kept using the same set of strings for 2 - 3 years.
Excellent advice, thank you!
Thanks for the short, no-nonsense and easy-to-understand video :)
DaddarioOrchestral I replaced the friction pegs on my 5 String Cello w/ Mechanical pegs which made it easier to tune plus it allowed me to get rid of the fine tuners from the Tailpiece. The lack of fine tuners on the Tailpiece livens up the sound by allowing the top to vibrate more freely.
I use Helicore Strings because the Stranded Steel Core & thinner gauge makes bowing on the strings easier.
I just ordered a Yinfente 5 String Electric Cello and I'll be using Daddario Helicore Medium Tension Cello Strings including a matching Tension High E all at 4/4 Scale.

this comment caught me off guard, it was the top comment so it was the only one i saw at first... and i also play french horn and piano. very strange

Ohmygosh thanks so much I'm in 6th grade and my parents just bought me a new cello. I was tuning it and the a string just came off! I had a panic attack what a relief.
I WAS CRYING ON HOW TO FIX THE STRINGS till i saw this vid and then I could do although it took me an hour worth. Just wanna say ty
Hi, I'm trying to restring my cello but the ball on the end of my new string keeps popping out of the fine tuner! How can I stop this because it's really frustrating me!
Hi Phoenix - sorry you're having trouble! Shoot an email to cr-bowed@daddario.com and we'll figure out what's going on.

The cello and mandolin can’t go wrong
If i get my studio of 42 to get your strings can i get a hook up #hustle lol
No mention of the plastic sleeves that come already threaded to the A and D - what are these for?
Those plastic sleeves go on top of the bridge to keep the thinner A and D strings from cutting in to the soft wood of the bridge, if you already haven't found out yet or if it was a rhetorical question. Same on violin E strings etc. Some people believe they are dampener but they are not. Cheers
@Abyssinia Henry is ot bad if I don't have them
Change strings 2 times a year for a beginner? That is (I think) not necessairy. I’ve changed my strings once in three/four years. And it’s way to expensive, changing all your four strings twice a year costs around 180 euro...
But changing your strings more often leads to a better tone, I play violin and cello and when you first start playing it your not playing often then yes don’t change them twice a year only yearly but it’s a good idea to change then twice a year for people who play lots
@@carlyhinds1178 doesn't really matter if you can't afford it
Alexandra Foley in USA where I’m at it costs about 20$ to change all 4 so cost isn’t an issue for me
I have the exact same cello cover lol
Liz is beautiful
Everything was going fine until he suggested that beginners change their strings 4 times a year. What a stinking pile of hogwash.
Yea. Im not into Cello that much, I am a Violinist. I have higher mid-range strings and if I imagine I would change my strings 4x a year for no reason, I hear my wallet scream. Especially if I imagen that cello strings are more expensive due to their length 😱 as long as you don't break your strings or they arent too old there is no need for new strings all 3 months 😱 what a scam
I will credit this with my comment, butt (with limitations); eye like their guitar strings. This video fails in numerous ways sew much so, /as Adam G's comment exposed\ I'm done with this channel. ®
From the very beginning it’s obvious you have no idea what you’re talking about. You ABSOLUTELY NEVER lay a cello on its back. Doing so will cause the instrument to split down the middle of the back due to the weight.
Liz is hot
no she's not
