Artisan Strings Marcato Model 100 3/4 Size Cello (2006) — Serial #4260-W/ Gig bag.

Up for sale is an Artisan Strings Marcato Model 100 3/4 size cello, crafted in 2006 under the Gemeinhardt Company LLC string division. This 3/4-scale fractional instrument is an exceptional choice for advancing intermediate students or younger beginners who require a smaller, more manageable body size before moving up to a full 4/4 layout.

It features a traditional, warm amber-brown varnish that showcases the natural wood grain underneath. As shown in the full-length picture of the front, this cello comes pre-fitted with yellow first-position fingerboard tape markers, making it incredibly intuitive and helpful for student intonation and proper finger placement right out of the box.

Condition Report

This instrument is in Used – Good Condition. It functions exactly as intended mechanically and acoustically, showing typical signs of careful handling and student play wear consistent with an authentic 2006 orchestral instrument.

• Neck & Fingerboard: The fingerboard is straight and clean with proper projection. The alignment tapes are secure but can easily be peeled off if a teacher prefers a clean board.
