Description
A wonderful, resonant full-size (4/4) late 19th-century Saxon workshop cello. This instrument offers a rich, mature tone with great projection.
Pedigree & Tone: Crafted in the traditional Saxon style, it delivers an exceptionally warm, deep voice with an even response across all registers—a massive step up from modern factory instruments.
Setup & Strings: Fully set up by a luthier and currently outfitted with a quality set of Jargar strings. Ready to play immediately.
Condition: Features striking flamed maple figuring on the back and ribs. Original box wood and mother of pearl pegs and attractive boxwood tailpiece. Structurally stable: all seams have been professionally glued, and historical age-related cracks have been fully and stably repaired. No cracks on the soundpost or neck.
An ideal, characterful upgrade for an advancing student or intermediate player. Serious inquiries only; prospective buyers are very welcome to try the instrument locally with their own bow.
