  Quintus Carbon Fiber 3/4 size cello

  Quintus was one of only two makers that made 3/4 carbon fiber  cellos, and this is one from 2000.   Carbon fiber is resonant, durable, and immune to the hazards of temperature and humidity changes.   The fingerboard is composite and does not need planing; likewise composite pegs which don’t shrink or swell.   We have sold these to petite adults as well as kids over the years.
  Back length 680 mm
  Upper bout 310 mm
  Lower bouts 390 mm
  String length 640 mm.

  While it has a top plate with “purfling” of red pinstripe, the molded back & ribs are one piece with rounded edges and button, making it comfortable to play.
