Description

Full-Size (4/4) Solid Wood Cello – Warm, Responsive Tone – With Pickup (Optional Amplification) - £995ono

A well-made, full-size cello with a warm, clear voice and reliable playability. This is a modern workshop instrument (late 20th–early 21st century), built from carved solid tonewoods — a noticeable step up from basic laminated student cellos.

⸻

Key features:

* 4/4 full-size cello (comfortable proportions, possibly 7/8)
* Carved solid spruce top & maple back/sides
* Even, responsive tone across all strings
* Good projection with a warm, rounded character
* Properly set up and ready to play

⸻

Measurements:

* Body length: 68.25 cm
* String length: 62.5 cm
* Overall length: 113 cm

⸻

Sound & feel:

This is a dependable, musical instrument with a balanced, approachable tone — easy to play and forgiving, but with enough depth to support developing technique. A great option for adult learners or intermediate players looking to move beyond entry-level instruments.

⸻

Amplification (useful extra):

Fitted with a removable contact pickup, allowing:

* Amplified practice or performance
* Use with effects or recording setups

The pickup is non-invasive and can be removed without affecting the cello. To add amplification to a cello this would cost around £100-£150.

⸻

Condition:

* Structurally sound (no cracks or repairs)
* Cosmetic wear consistent with use (light scratches and marks — see photos)
* Clean and well-presented overall

⸻

Why this cello:
A solid, honest instrument with real acoustic character — not a budget laminate. Instruments like this typically retail new at significantly higher prices when professionally set up.

⸻

Ideal for:

* Adult beginners wanting a quality first instrument
* Intermediate players upgrading from a starter cello
* Players interested in both acoustic and amplified use

⸻

Price: £995ono
