From our Professional Series, we start with a European white cello, and our luthier takes over. The top is removed and interior work performed by Damir Horvat, then it’s hand varnished for a beautiful finish. Chuck Herin installs all our Pegheds. The setup includes a ConCarbo unidirectional CF tailpiece, a Belgian bridge, Versum/Rondo Strings, and a NHM fitting for 10mm endpin (10 varieties of rod from which to choose).

Vivo’s copy of a 1777 Guadagnini, made of European tonewoods, has been a very popular cello for its price, performance, and comfort. With many 4/4 cellos having string lengths that cause intonation or pain issues for cellists, this one has a shorter string length (685 mm), generous body proportions that work with the short back length. We welcome you to experience this instrument. It is set up with Pegheds, a Belgian bridge, ConCarbo twill carbon fiber tailpiece in the harp style for a longer vibrating C string length. The fitting is a NHM for a 10mm endpin, and this cello’s sound gets the best reviews with either a 28″ CF or 24″ Cube Acoustics endpin, though there are other options. Strings are Peter Infeld AD with Rondo GC.
