Thomastik 147 Dominant Cello 4/4

For amateur home playing this seems to me a very good compromise between gut and steel at a very reasonable price. The response to the bow is very nice. However, the A string below any quality standard, it is useless and broken within a week. To calculate its cost I would recommend to dismiss the A string and purchase this set as a 3 string set that needs to be completed with a single A string from another brand.
