One of the unexpected effects of the current economic downturn is the increase of great, affordable, older European cellos for sale in our shop. Currently we have seven of these, all under $10,000! Every one of them is an excellent player and all are in very good condition. Please believe us when we say that cellos of this type are becoming rarer each year, and that it is highly unusual to have a selection this large and this good in one place.

Your best bet of course is to come to our shop so you can try all of them, but we can certainly ship most of them for trial (some consigned cellos’ owners have requested that we don’t ship them).

If you’re looking for a great-performing, affordable cello, please contact us soon.
