Condition & Completed Repair Breakdown

We prioritize absolute transparency in our string shop listings. This instrument is categorized as Fair cosmetic condition but is structurally robust:

• The Body Cracks: Over its lifecycle, this cello developed some wood cracks in its body panels due to environmental shifts or student use.
• 100% Fully Repaired: Every single crack has been professionally glued, clamped, and fully stabilized. The wood joints are entirely sealed, rigid, and flush. They hold beautifully under standard string tension across the entire register and are guaranteed not to buzz, rattle, or shift while bowing.
• Perfect Playing Condition: Mechanically and acoustically, this cello is in flawless order. The fingerboard line is true, the action height is comfortable for developing hands, and it projects a warm, beautifully dark core tone.
• Cosmetics: Shows normal cosmetic surface scrapes, minor varnish scuffs, and small edge bumps consistent with a 2006 student model, none of which affect playability.

Fractional Sizing Guide

• This is a 1/2 size fractional cello, designed specifically for younger students generally ranging between the ages of 7 to 11, or measuring roughly 4'0" to 4'6" in total height.

What’s Included

• Artisan Strings Marcato Model 100 1/2 Cello (2006, S# 4278)
• Travel Case / Protective Gig Bag (Please verify the exact hard or soft style via your listing photos)

Standard Reverb Shipping & Instrument Guidelines

• Setup & Tension: To ensure the instrument arrives completely intact, the strings will be slacked slightly before packing to decrease heavy downward bridge load on the soundboard.
• Packaging: Orchestral string instruments require elite packing. The cello will be secured inside its travel case, and the entire unit will be encased in multiple thick layers of high-grade shock-absorbing wrap. It will then be floating-packed within a heavy-duty double-walled corrugated shipping carton with dense void-fill material.
• Shipping: Ships promptly with tracking. Buy with confidence!
