Scott Cao 7/8 size

Cellists moving up from a 3/4, or downsizing from a too-large 4/4 may want to consider the 7/8 size.  It is about proportions — yours and the cello’s — for the best fit.   This 7/8 Scott Cao model 017 is made of Chinese spruce and maple, has had Pegheds installed, and is set up with a Despiau French bridge, Akusticus tailpiece, NHM composite fitting and 8mm CF endpin.   7/8 size cellos vary in dimensions between makers and models.  This particular cello has these dimensions:

Back length  725 mm
Upper bouts  335 mm
Lower bouts  425 mm
String length  670 mm
Depth  120-125mm

  • Ariana 750

    The Ariana cello model by Vivo is made of Chinese tonewoods and comes in three different body lengths.  This one is a 750.  One should not conclude that a short body length translates to a short string length.   This specific cello has been sold, but we will be ordering another.  Contact us if this model interests you.
