They are made of several different metals, including steel, copper, aluminum and silver. Many are made of some sort of core (steel, copper, gut, or various plastics) and then wrapped with aluminum or silver. Often the upper two strings (A and D) are steel, wrapped with aluminum or silver, and the lower two (G and C) are gut or perlon wrapped with aluminum or silver.

What is the strings made out of on the cello?
There are different types of strings made out on the cello :Synthetic CoreMetal StringsGut core stringsSynthetic Core - These strings use a core made out of a durable synthetic product such as perlon or kevlar, and are wrapped with metals such as aluminum or silver. Synthetic-core strings are designed to replicate the rich sound of gut strings, and feature a warm, bright tone without requiring the frequent tuning of gut-core strings.Metal Strings -All-metal strings are often described as having a bright, loud sound. These strings generally have a steel core, which is often the most popular core material used in cello strings. For this reason, some popular brands such as Evah Pirazzi, which use a synthetic core for their violin and viola strings, switch to a steel core for their cello strings. Steel-core strings are wound with various metals such as silver, titanium or steel.Gut core strings-Some professional cellists prefer gut-core strings because of the rich, warm sound they produce on their instrument. These strings are not as durable as metal or synthetic-core strings, and are more sensitive to humidity and temperature changes .... but it was mostly used in the olden times eg.Baroque period. :)
