Up for sale is a pre-owned Artisan Strings Model 100 1/2 Size Cello, manufactured in 2007. Built using solid carved tonewoods, the Model 100 series is a popular choice among private music instructors and school orchestra programs due to its bright acoustic projection and rugged build profile.

Structural Status & Condition Details

To ensure a smooth transaction, please read through the exact structural state of this cello carefully:

• The Back Crack (Repaired): This instrument previously suffered a major structural crack running down the length of its maple back panel. This back crack has been fully repaired and stabilized. The glue joint is completely hard and sealed flush, meaning it does not flex or buzz under full string tension.
• The Side Crack (Unrepaired): There is currently an active, unrepaired crack located on the side ribs of the instrument. While the cello can still be brought up to pitch and played as-is, we recommend having this side crack glued or cleated by a string technician down the road to prevent it from traveling further. (Please reference our listing photos for dedicated, close-up shots of this area).
• Cosmetics: Shows average aesthetic wear for a 2007 student instrument, including surface scuffs, finish chips along the outer edges, and typical varnish scratches.

Sizing & Structural Setup

• 1/2 Size Fractional Fit: Optimized for younger cellists generally between the ages of 7 to 11, or measuring between 4'0" and 4'6" in total height.
• Fittings: Equipped with a standard carved bridge, traditional tuning pegs, a secure endpin assembly, and a durable composite tailpiece fitted with four integrated fine-tuners for stress-free adjustments.

What’s Included

• Artisan Strings Model 100 1/2 Cello (2007, S# 7690)
• Fitted Padded Soft Case / Gig Bag
• Note: A bow, rosin, or endpin anchor strap are not included with this package unless explicitly pictured.

Standard Reverb Shipping & Purchase Guidelines

• Sold Strictly As-Is: Due to the documented presence of the unrepaired side crack, this instrument is being offered at a heavy discount and is sold As-Is with no returns or refunds.
• Packaging: We pack orchestral string instruments with professional care. To safeguard the body panels during transit, the strings will be slacked slightly to reduce downward bridge compression. The cello will be placed inside its soft case, wrapped in multiple dense layers of industrial bubble insulation, and float-packed inside a heavy-duty double-walled corrugated shipping carton.
• Shipping: Ships promptly with tracking. Buy with confidence!
