Product Information

The Hidersine Melodioso 4/4 Cello Outfit is an outstanding choice for advancing players looking for a high-quality, handcrafted instrument. Made from solid hand-carved tonewoods, this cello features a spruce sound table that allows for a rich, resonant tone that continues to improve over time as the wood matures. The figured maple back, ribs, and neck enhance both the tone and aesthetic appeal, with natural flaming that adds character to the instrument.

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.
