Engineered to perfection

The Gewa Allegro VC1 cello is the ideal instrument for ambitious beginners. By using the historic combination of a solid European Maple body with a solid European Spruce top, the VC1 cello produces a focused, powerful sound with plenty of body. And thanks to these European tonewoods, the instrument's tone will continue to improve over time.

Unlike other cellos, the Allegro is CNC-machined compared to hand-carved. Not only does this enable GEWA to keep the cost down, but it also ensures that every single cello is made to the highest standards. This is especially important for schools and music centres.

Similar to more expensive cellos, the Allegro includes full ebony fittings. Not only do these look great, but they're also hardwearing compared to cheaper woods. For the perfect finish, the VC1 cello has been hand-varnished with a coating of brown-amber natural resin varnish.

Thomastik Alphayue strings

The Thomastik Alphayue cello string set offers an alternative to standard solid-steel strings. Assuring an instant response, supple playability, and colourful tone, the Alphayue strings are guaranteed to make performing fun. This set includes a combination of steel and synthetic cores and a variety of windings including chrome, multialloy, and hydronalium. Featuring a medium tension gauge which offers optimum versatility, the Alphayue strings are ideal for players who wish to concentrate on their own playing style. These strings all have ball ends which are suitable for musicians who require a reliable sound that maintains its voice over time.

Everything you need

Included with the Allegro VC1 cello is a lightweight transportation bag which has plenty of storage. For ease of use, the case includes backpack straps to ensure that commuting is never an issue. The bag can hold one bow, and even features a large accessory pocket - ideal for the included rosin.

Also included is a bow crafted from quality Bulletwood that is octagonally shaped for a comfortable grip when performing. Similar to more expensive bows, the bow features bright lapping, a comfortable thumb grip, and a three-piece looking end screw for a premium look. This bow also uses natural horsehair for the best possible sound and is suitable for any three quater-size cello.
