Exceptional 3/4 Fully-Carved Cello – Professionally Set Up – Rich Mature Tone - Videos available
£1,695 ono
(Comparable specialist violin-shop retail: approximately £2,500–£4,000+)
I have videos of the instrument being played by a professional cellist which I can send to interested parties via WhatsApp.
A remarkably responsive and resonant 3/4 cello with a warm, mature sound that far exceeds most instruments in this category.
Recently professionally checked, adjusted and fully set up by a luthier including structural inspection and optimisation for tone and playability. The instrument is now playing beautifully and is ready for serious use immediately.
This is a fully carved instrument featuring:
* carved spruce top,
* carved maple back and ribs,
* ebony fingerboard,
* genuine inlaid purfling,
* and traditional internal construction.
The tone is powerful, warm and surprisingly refined for a 3/4 cello, with excellent projection and strong lower-register resonance. It responds quickly under the bow and has a genuinely musical, expressive character.
Recently tested by a professional cellist (videos available) who rated the instrument very highly for:
* tonal richness,
* responsiveness,
* balance across the strings,
* and overall musical quality.
Unlike many smaller student cellos that can sound thin or harsh, this instrument has a notably fuller and more mature voice.
Professionally maintained
* Recently inspected and adjusted by a luthier
* Structurally sound
* Proper bridge and soundpost setup
* Ready to play immediately
Ideal for:
* advanced young players,
* conservatoire-track students,
* smaller adults,
* orchestral use,
* or anyone wanting a serious instrument without paying full violin-shop retail prices.
Condition is very good overall with only light cosmetic wear consistent with normal careful use.
Value comparison
A cello of this quality and tonal character — once professionally set up and sold through a specialist violin shop would typically retail in the region of £2500-£4000
The difference is largely dealer overhead, showroom margin and warranty pricing.
This is an opportunity to acquire a genuinely impressive and musically rewarding cello at a fraction of equivalent shop retail.
Play-test welcome for serious buyers.
NE8 Tyne and Wear for viewing and playing. I am at home most days.
