Thomastik-Infeld Dominant Cello G String

A synthetic core cello G string with a tungsten-silver winding, offering warm tone and quick response for cellists. It is a musical instrument string for bowed string instruments, specifically cellos, which are not explicitly listed in the tariff item but may be considered under 'viols' or similar. The tariff item lists 'viols' which historically includes cellos, so it falls under this item.
