Artisan Strings Marcato Model 100 3/4 Size Cello (2006) — Serial #4257 with Original 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. Designed specifically for advancing young cellists, this fractional 3/4-scale instrument provides excellent playability and projection without the overwhelming physical size of a full 4/4 layout.

The instrument features a classic high-gloss amber-brown varnish that beautifully highlights the grain of the wood. To assist with student intonation and finger placement, the fingerboard comes pre-applied with bright yellow learning markers, making it ready for lessons right away.
