This cello is completely handmade with the only power tools being a bandsaw to roughcut the shape of the scroll. This cello is made by experienced violinmakers with excellent tonewoods that have slight visual imperfections. This is why we are able to offer such an exceptional instrument at this low price. You may notice slight mineral stains in the woods or tiny knots in the wood. These do not affect durability or playability. Many of these cellos have blemishes in the wood that are not detectable except by an expert. Cellos from this same workshop with flawless wood sell for $5,000.00.
