Cellos

Come by and try it out at your leisure.

You should take your time. If an instrument seems very interesting, you may also try it out at home or in the concert hall. We will give you a week or 10 days to decide.

Our advice is: wherever you might go to look for a cello, never let anyone pressure you to buy.

About the question …

… whether an old master instrument is actually better than a new instrument, entire books have been written, and tests are often carried out to prove one or the other.

A dealer who specializes in old instruments will inevitably recommend an old instrument. Someone who makes only new instruments obviously wants to sell them. The truth – as so often – lies somewhere in between. Even if we make new instruments, we love the beautiful old instruments.

Some old Italian master instruments do indeed have outstanding tone. The price difference is enormous, however, and a close examination of the price-performance ratio may fall in favor of a new master cello.

There are also excellent concert instruments among the new master cellos.

In our workshop we rent student cellos starting with ½ size.

Rental contracts are usually open-ended and have a notice period of one month to the end of the following month. In principle, you can also purchase your rental instrument. Purchasing it usually only makes sense when you have reached 4/4 size. You can also put a rental instrument to the test for a few days and try it out with your instrument teacher before signing the contract. Of course, the cello also comes with its matching softcase and bow.

Rental rates start at 35.00 € (plus 7 € insurance, if so desired) per month.
