Overview
Carving spruce and flamed maple by hand, the maker builds this cello with an Aubert bridge, a clear red-brown varnish finish and a bow and bag as part of the outfit.
The reason to buy is the complete package: hand-carved wood, a quality bridge, a bow and a bag in one order. The limit is conflicting string information and no accessories beyond the bow and bag.
Who it's for
A school or private-lesson student ready for a full-size outfit with a flamed maple back. Players who need a documented string set should confirm it with the seller first.
Pros and cons
- Hand-carved spruce and maple
- Flamed maple back
- Brazilwood bow included
- Padded bag included
- String brand conflicts in the listing
- Only a bow and bag included
- Warranty limited to one year
Performance notes
Carving and graduating the plates controls how freely the spruce top and maple back vibrate, which shapes the tone. The bridge passes string vibration into the top. The description credits the strings with a rich tone and tuning stability.
