    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.  We just received this model 017, and it is in line to be set up — hopefully by December.  We’ll happily explain to you the differences between 7/8 cellos in case you think they are all the same.  Nope!  Just give us a call or send an email.

    Back length  725 mm
    Upper bouts  330 mm
    Lower bouts  422 mm

  • 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.   The bridge is still maple and can warp like any bridge, but for the most part you have a less-sensitive cello for kids or small adults who wish they could find a CF in their size.

    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.
