Artisan Strings Marcato Model 100 3/4 Size Cello (2006) — Serial #4264 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 to accommodate advancing student musicians, this fractional 3/4-scale instrument offers exceptional playability and warm acoustic projection without the bulk of a full-sized 4/4 layout.

The cello features a beautiful high-gloss amber-brown varnish that allows the natural wood grain below to pop. To help the player develop excellent intonation habits right away, the fingerboard comes pre-fit with four bright yellow first-position learning tape markers.
