Product Information
The Stentor Elysia ‘English model’ cello is part of Stentor’s high-grade orchestral range, crafted in a specialist workshop within the Stentor factory. Skilled luthiers, working under the supervision of a master maker, create these instruments using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The result is a finely crafted cello with exceptional tone and playability.
This model features a 29" (737mm) back length with a rib depth 10mm smaller than a standard full-size cello, offering a more comfortable playing experience without compromising volume or tonal depth. The instrument is finished with a hand-applied traditional shellac varnish and fitted with Pirastro professional-quality strings, enhancing its sound and response.
Features:
Hand-carved from solid tonewoods
Selected spruce front for resonance and clarity
Figured maple back, ribs, and neck for tonal depth
Inlaid purfling for structural integrity
Traditional shellac varnish for a refined finish
Ebony fingerboard and pegs for durability and smooth playability
Fitted with Pirastro strings for a professional sound
A superb choice for advancing players, the Stentor Elysia offers a balance of craftsmanship, comfort, and rich tonal quality.
