Product Information
The Apprezzato Hand-Crafted Cello is an exceptional instrument designed for musicians who value both craftsmanship and a personalised playing experience. Built from carefully selected solid tonewoods, it features a finely carved spruce top and flamed maple back, sides, and neck. The result is a cello with excellent resonance, clarity, and tonal depth, suitable for a range of musical styles.
What makes this instrument unique is our custom setup service. Before delivery, our expert luthier will adjust the cello’s setup based on your preferred tonal characteristics. Using subtle modifications to the bridge, soundpost, and other fine details, combined with carefully selected strings, we can tailor the instrument to suit your playing style. Whether you’re looking for a warm, mellow sound, a bright and projecting tone, or a balanced response, we’ll ensure the cello is optimised for your needs.
This cello is professionally set up for excellent playability and responsiveness, with an ebony fingerboard, pegs, and a lightweight tailpiece with fine tuners for precise tuning stability. Its refined finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while also contributing to its tonal characteristics.
Perfect for students progressing to more advanced playing and musicians seeking an instrument that adapts to their unique sound preferences, the Apprezzato Cello offers both quality and flexibility.

Cello Care Tips
To keep your cello in great condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:
Storage: Always store your cello in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.
Cleaning: Clean your cello regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Be careful not to touch the varnish with your fingers.
String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening the strings, as this can cause unnecessary stress on the instrument.
Bow Maintenance: Loosen the bow hair after playing and wipe the stick with a dry, soft cloth to remove rosin dust, preventing build-up and protecting the finish.
