Artisan Strings Model 60 2007 S#5423 3/4 Cello Repairable Hairline Crack

Here is the Reverb-style listing for your Artisan Strings Model 60 cello. Like the Model 100 project listing, this uses a transparent "Luthier Special" framework to clearly communicate the hairline crack while framing it as an affordable repair project for a student or shop.

Artisan Strings Model 60 3/4 Cello (2007) - Luthier / Repair Project

Up for sale is a used Artisan Strings Model 60 3/4 Cello, manufactured in 2007. Originally distributed by the Gemeinhardt Company, the Model 60 is a reliable, student-focused fractional instrument built with a traditional amber-brown varnish finish. It features an incredibly sturdy build, making it a favorite for rental fleets and middle school orchestra programs.

This specific 3/4 model is being offered at a steep discount due to a minor structural issue. It represents a fantastic, highly affordable opportunity for a budget-conscious parent, a school program with an in-house repair budget, or a student luthier looking for an easy winter project.

Structural & Condition Notes (Please Read)

This cello is listed in Fair/Good condition and has been priced aggressively below market value due to the following structural note:

• Hairline Crack: There is a tight hairline crack on the instrument's top soundboard.
• Repair Status: The crack is highly stable, clean, and completely repairable. It can easily be addressed and stabilized by a qualified string instrument technician or luthier using standard cleating methods.
• Cosmetics: Aside from the crack, the cello is in good physical shape. The traditional amber varnish still retains a beautiful shine, showing only the normal, minor surface scuffs and light edge wear expected from a student instrument of this age.

Functional Status & Hardware

• Hardware: The tuning pegs, bridge, tailpiece with integrated fine-tuners, and adjustable endpin assembly are all present, intact, and functional.
• Playability: The instrument holds structure well, but getting the hairline crack glued and stabilized is highly recommended before tuning it to standard concert pitch for long-term acoustic resonance.

What’s Included

• Artisan Strings Model 60 3/4 Cello (2007, S# 5423)
• Note: A soft case/bag, bow, and rosin are not included with this listing unless explicitly pictured.
