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 one has had Pegheds installed, and is awaiting setup, so check back.

Back length  725 mm
Upper bouts  335 mm

  • 7/8 size Andreas Eastman 200

    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.

  • Quintus Carbon Fiber 3/4 size cello

    Quintus was one of only two makers that made 3/4 carbon fiber  cellos, and this is one from 2000.   Carbon fiber is resonant, durable, and immune to the hazards of temperature and humidity changes.   The fingerboard is composite and does not need planing; likewise composite pegs which don’t shrink or swell.   We have sold these to petite adults as well as kids over the years.
    Back length 680 mm
    Upper bout 310 mm
    Lower bouts 390 mm
    String length 640 mm.

    While it has a top plate with “purfling” of red pinstripe, the molded back & ribs are one piece with rounded edges and button, making it comfortable to play.

  • Ariana

    Ariana is available in three different body lengths, though all are 4/4.   A shorter back length does not guarantee a short string length.  Setup has started with the installation of Pegheds, and we hope to have it ready in early March.
    Back length 750 mm
    Upper bouts  350 mm
