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.
Back length 720mm
Upper bouts 335 mm
Lower Bouts 420 mm
String length 685 mm
