The Model 800 cello is another beautifully handcrafted example of our figured Maple offerings. This Cello is a finely crafted handmade instrument executed by Silver Award winning luthiers of the Violin Society of America. Made from select, highly figured flamed Maple, this cello features gorgeous tiger-striping throughout its back, ribs, neck and scroll with a tightly grained carved Spruce top. The oil varnish is hand-rubbed and antiqued to give the instrument an aged, vintage appearance. These elegantly antiqued cellos have an incredibly even, round tone with a warm, smooth, and focused sound. Following the authentic Italian style of cello making.
