"Davidov" Stradivari Cello

The 4/4 size 'Davidov' Stradivari Cello is the ideal fit for most players - adults and older children can enjoy the comfortable fit of this instrument and concentrate solely on their musical preparation. The ebony fingerboard is capable of producing a clear, crisp attack. This wood is generally much brighter than maple and has a similar density too. This quality gives the fingerboard a natural smooth, quick playing ability favored by many professionals. Although there are many types of wood used to create fingerboards ebony is the darkest of them all. The wood works effectively throughout the instrument's range and is reliable for years.

Larsen Soloist Cello Strings

The soloist series of strings has been designed for those who want each note to be articulated and powerful. The strings feature solid steel cores that have a resonant bass, balanced mids and crisp highs. The A and D have a stainless steel winding for a comfortable feel, whilst the G string is wound with tungsten for increased bass response. The strings are ideal for solo musicians who want each passage of their performance to have clarity and balance, regardless of their speed.

D'Addario Helicore Cello Strings

Premium quality materials combined with skilled craftsmanship result in pitch stability and longevity. With a playing length of 27.5 inches, the medium tension string are scaled to fit 4/4 size cellos.

K2 Case

The K2 case is great for travelling musicians who need to protect their equipment against their busy lifestyle. This case will keep the cello looking, feeling and sounding newer for longer, by reducing the risk of scratches and preventing damage caused when the instrument is dropped. The case comes with plenty of features to keep everything organised and stored away. The lightweight design still maintains the protection needed for any high end cello.

Marco Raposo Pernambuco Cello Bow

Marco Raposo has always played a large part in the conservation and sustainability of pernambuco, which has been declared as a protected species of wood. Working closely with forestry officials and their own production facility managing a large forested area, the company helps prevent major damage to the environment, while maintaining and growing the highly desired Pau-Brasil pernambuco. This results in the quality which is demonstrated across the range of Marco Raposo bows.

After studying the art of bow manufacture in New Hampshire, Marco Raposo established his work shop in Domingos Martins, Brazil. By utilising one of the most precious forms of pernambuco wood, the Pau-Brasil, Raposo achieved a high quality bow that translates the sound in each musician's head to the strings. His manufacturing style combines the best attributes of German and French traditions, providing each musician access to unlimited playing styles.
