Cellos
Our changing inventory includes new and previously-owned cellos. Sound and characteristics of an instrument reveal themselves as each player brings their own skill set to the cello, and what each person perceives and prefers can vary. Thus we do not attempt to describe the sound of an instrument when it can change with player, bow, strings - elements we explore with you here.
Cellos vary in body style and dimensions, so if you have trouble playing comfortably, or in tune, we should discuss this. Pricing can vary on the same model cello due to differences in setup. Some cellos are one-of-a-kind while others are routinely ordered, but may not always be in stock or on the site. Contact us -- it's the best way to get current information. Price range typically from $1700-$30,000.
