This silk acetate cover is full-length, lined (not thermal lining), and has velcro closures on either side of the endpin. This allows you to lift the cello at the neck without the fabric sliding. Currently we have two in stock. One cocoa with contrasting monogram, and one dark brown with monogram color-matched. The fabric color is solid, but design is tone-on-tone. Why might you want one? Some want to protect the cello traveling in a Stevenson case which is unlined fiberglass. If your cello is in a display stand, you may wish to keep dust off it. Others are trying to keep vanishing humidity at bay, and feel this adds another protection zone. We have one remaining in stock, a light brown in the paisley as shown in the gallery. We are not placing new orders at this time. The dark brown silk pictured has been sold, but the light brown is available.
Boveda is a two-way system which controls humidity in your case whether it needs to be added or absorbed. We were slow to offer this product because its use in cello cases seemed a bit awkward, and buying replacement packets is a commitment. But we now have cellists needing the two-way management system for their finnicky cellos. This starter kit includes the soft pockets into which the Boveda packets are placed (after removing them from their plastic wrapper). Packets may remain effective for 2-6 months, and you can tell when they need replacement by how rigid they get. Packet contents are natural salts and pure water. Cellos require four packets to do the job, and remember to keep your case closed as exposure to the air will shorten their life. When unopened, the packets can be stored for two years. You can order additional packets when we ship your starter kit, or as you need them in the future.

W.E. Hill & Sons Varnish Cleaner. Apply a small quantity with a piece of absorbent material, then rub lightly with soft cloth.
**Note: Varnishes are very different in their makeup, and trying to use a cleaner may be ill-advised. A luthier is the best person to clean your cello but if you feel confident, proceed carefully. Contains turpentine, so there may be mailing restrictions.
