StringWorks Artist Cello

Remember, there are many cello brands now available with the 'Artist' name, but only one StringWorks Artist - the original and still the best! Only the top 10% or so of instruments from the workshop meet our high standards for the Artist - from there, our Setup truly takes the cream of the cello crop over the top. You'll be able to hear and feel the difference this dedication makes in our Artist (and all of our instruments). We are proud of how much cello you get with our Crescendo, but the $200 premium to upgrade to our Artist will be the best investment you will ever make in your playing!  Look forward to helping you select the perfect cello for Christmas! As always, we can take pictures of your exact cello for a personalized Gift Certificate, as well, if you've waited a bit too long ;) Now some of the most popular cellos in the nation, StringWorks cellos were developed with the expertise of professional cellists (the owner of the company was a cellist with Los Angeles Opera for 17 years), resulting in an instrument of superior tonal capability and playing ease. StringWorks guarantees that our cellos, as with the rest of our instruments, will be the finest available - or your purchase price is refunded! - Full, warm tone - Rewarding resonance - Deeper, rounder low register - Rich brilliant, or sweeter upper register to match your preference  "I like to try new instruments and bows, especially when the results are as positive as they were this morning when I had the opportunity to try one each Artist and Maestro cello from String Works... I've tried French cellos that owners paid $10,000 for that should not play in the same room with either of these low-price instruments." - A.V.
