    Hand-made cello, 1977, by Edward Campbell of Chimney’s Violin Shop in PA.  It had one owner, Richard Maag, and the cello sat after he passed.  Some restorative work has been performed at Horvat Fine Violins here, with care taken to keep its Chimney’s Bridge as a tribute to the maker.  It has geared Boxwood pegs, a Horvat tailpiece, and it is going to find its voice again.  Mr. Campbell was a master luthier and winner of many VSA awards.

    1/2 size Andreas Eastman model 600 (2001)

    We first sold this cello in 2001, and after being with families in NY and SC, it’s looking for a forever home.  I say that because we stopped working with the small cellos, and are not going to able to trade it up to the next size.  It may be a wonderful addition to a studio or school with a constant supply of 1/2 sized cellists.  PegHeds have just been installed for effortless and stable tuning.  Original endpin fitting was replaced with a composite by NHM, and removable endpin is 21.5″  Wittner tailpiece.  Not all 1/2 size cellos have the same dimensions and contours.  Oh, this specific model is still made by Eastman but not in small fractional sizes anymore.
    Back length  665 mm
    Upper bouts  300 mm

  • 1/4 size Andreas Eastman 200 cello outfit

    1/4 size Andreas Eastman 200 cello outfit

    This 1/4 size Andreas Eastman cello was made in 2003 and has been in the hands of people who took very good care of it.  It is paired with an octagonal German bow stamped Jos. Martin, made of brazilwood with a full-lined ebony frog, weight ~ 66 grams.  Keeping in mind dimensions for the same “size” cello can vary with each maker and style, I can tell you this is a smaller 1/4 than some others.  The back length is 59 cm (12 1/4″), the upper bouts are 27 cm (10 5/8″), the lower bouts are 34 cm (13 5/8″) and the playable string length is 53.5 cm (21 1/8″).  It’s important to note that a narrow cello will be easier for some kids with shorter legs to get comfortable at than a wider-bottom cello .  A purple Bobelock bag completes the outfit.

  • Guadagnini replica (E)

    Guadagnini replica (E)

    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.
