We encourage customers to relax and enjoy trying our instruments to ensure you make the right choice. You will have the opportunity to spend as much time as needed in one of our dedicated “trying out” rooms because all cellos, and especially professional cellos and those for conservatoire students are an investment that require time and consideration.
We strongly recommend that you experience our whole range of new, used and antique cellos. As well as a large selection of second hand cellos and antique cellos, we have many new instruments by contemporary makers that are well worth trying.
