This fine, hand-crafted Paolo Lorenzo cello was made in Los Angeles, California in 2010. It resonates seamlessly with evenness from the rich lower register to the sweet upper strings. Its response is quick and easy, allowing the player to experiment with various articulations, always achieving great clarity and crispness. With a lovely orange-brown varnish and beautiful, narrow flames on its ribs and back, this cello is a great instrument for the student looking to upgrade to their first full-sized cello.
