Pirastro Piranito Cello D String – 1/4 to 1/8 Size

The Pirastro Piranito Cello D String is specifically engineered to meet the needs of young students and developing cellists. Designed to fit 1/4 and 1/8 size instruments, these strings are world-renowned for their reliability and ease of use. If you are looking for a string that encourages progress through a clear, responsive tone and a comfortable feel under the fingers, the Piranito series is the industry standard for student cellos.

Angkor Music Orchestral Specialist Insight

Piranito strings are a staple in our orchestral department at Angkor Music because they solve the most common issues for beginners: tuning stability and brightness. The steel core construction ensures that the string settles in almost immediately and stays in tune even with changes in temperature or humidity. For a D string on a fractional cello, you want a sound that is brilliant and clear to help the student hear their intonation properly—Piranito delivers exactly that without the metallic "harshness" found in budget brands.
