Cello made in 2009 has had one previous owner, and just came back to us in excellent condition. After a quick trip to get Pegheds and freshen things up, it will be available! If you are moving up from a 3/4 or are perhaps 5’5″ or shorter and 4/4 cellos feel disproportionate to you, consider the 7/8 size. This model has narrow lower bouts, so if you have short legs you’ll find this comfortable.
