Play a cello fit for your coming musical accomplishments. The Ebony fittings, as well as Spruce and Maple body, will create a strong tone that will resonate across a concert venue. An Ebony fingerboard is the perfect surface to play on. With a tight grain that requires no varnish, it lends itself perfectly to fast playability. This orchestral-standard feature means you can rest assured of accurate notes as part of an ensemble. As well as sounding the part, you'll look it with the VC5S. Your cello looks sleek with a subtle shine thanks to the hand-brushed oil varnish. Your cello is performance-ready if you are.
Invest in an instrument that will last. Ebony and Maple are the classic combination for a string instrument, allowing the rich cello tone you know and love. On top of this, they are hardwoods, as are the pegs, providing a high life expectancy so this instrument won't let you down.
Give your cello a quality setup. D'Addario Prelude strings are what every teacher would recommend as you set up your student instrument. Equipped with Prelude strings, the sound of your instrument will be massively enhanced. Play with the warmest tone.
